I am installing these this fall and since they've been out for a while I assumed there would be lots of info on going to 900 Torq. It seems odd that my 502 MPI with a much smaller side mount whipple will make 800 and that engine was only 425HP to start... Engines have less than 100 hours of run time over 1200 rpm so I don't want to change pistons yet... A cam swap? Heads will be off for studs and gaskets so possible port work?

your 502mpi with a side mount doesnt make 800hp unless the rest of the engine was heavily modified.
3.8L 525 runs right around 800hp on my dyno.
if you modify the engines, you'll need to modify the 555ecm fuel map. thats something only a handful of guys in the world can do, and unless youre following a recipe theyll be taking guesses remotely and thats a bad plan.
If your engine is the old 502 mag side mount deal and its relatively stock, i promise you a 3.3 or 3.8 525 engine will blow it out of the water.

So when you say "525" whipple kits, are you talking real 525s w the 555 pcm? If so, keep in mind someones got to be able to tune it and theres very few choices there, everytime someone calls and ask me to dyno or tune a 555 ( which I CANNOT tune), I tell them to consult with Mark boos or whipple BEFORE proceeding with their build to make sure they can get a tune for it
