500efis with XR

I dont think you need that much power to pick up 13 mph. Look to get 600-650/ per motor and youll see 80-85. I would stroke them to 540s. that will give you a mild 600-650hp at low comp around 5500rpms. How many hours on the 500s? You may want to tear them down anyway before you put blowers on. So, its your choice.

There is a 96' TG out there w/American Flag graphics that has 500EFI and what I think is a whipple. Around 625hp? That would do it and you wouldn't kill your drives.

If you change your crank rod and pistons, to increase the stroke. You will increase your cubic inch from 502 to 540. That alone will give you 600 hp or more. You'll probably need to change your cam and do some mild head work as well along with EFI adjustment.
the cost for this work will probably run 5,000 - 7,000 per side
I dont know too much about blowers, but I see many guys going with whipple chargers or prochargers on the 500 efis. With 250 hrs on your engines, it would be prudent to check them out before going the blower route. With that in mind, your lookin at 6,000-8,000 per side. Either way, you will get 650 reliable HP, 85 mph and your XRs will live.
Just My opinion. Im no professional.
