Default Opinions on build

Hey guys think I've got my build lined out. I have a 502 MAG with the old mefi1 computer and the old school efi mag intake. I have a line on a 525hp efi. Cam that I should be getting paid for over the weekend and shipped to me. I'm also doing according spring and roller rocker upgrades. I am also going to machine the runner length down to the floor of the plenum and take the divider in the center of the runners down a couple inches as demonstrated in a couple threads on here and port match the intake and heads to the intake gskts. Stock compression ratio. And thinking of having the guy out of witchita tune the efi. What kind of power do you think I'm shooting for between 500 and 530. Is that achievable in your guys opinions??

Also if you have a cam recommendation feel free I'm open to suggestions.

This is going in my 27 fountain fever non step with a bravo1.

Also has anyone used the guy out of witchita? I'll find the name I don't want to misprint it. If so any experiences to share good or bad would be appreciated.

OSO member Jason Smith owned the Bad Idea Baja in the video and was very happy with the work done by him.

I have heard of quite a few people in Kansas and the Midwest that have used him. Never heard anything negative.

Stock exhaust? 460-470 HP. Even with the machine work on the Intake, the Throttle body could be too small. Doubt 500..

It is my opinion you'll do fine with that particular tuner.

The throttle body will not be too small. It is nearly a 1000 cfm unit. The manifold runners are the limiting factor above 550-600 hp.
