Default 496 to 496 ho conversion

I have a 375 hp 496, the block cracked (and the 525 I really want seems unreasonable right now)
If I purchased the 425 horse version (in a long block) can I have my computer re-calibrated for that engine?
Would I need anything else to make this a true HO?
Thanks

to make the conversion you need a cam ,the hole in the throttle plate needs drilled ecu need reprogrammed by whipple ,he can give slight up grade at that time 10% on top

If the camshaft in the new long block is the 425HO version , you're good to go on the engine. You can send us the ECM and we reprogram them to HO spec for $675 each. Let us know if we can help.

Ray does your reprogram change hp at all, or just brings it to straight 425 hp?
Thanks,
Joe

007joe:

The Raylar HO replacement camshaft and our in house ECM reprogram will raise the horsepower to about 460HP with everything else stock.
Let us know if we can help.
