Wear a helmet, lifeline jacket and hook up the lanyard.

All this talk and the fact my boat didn't sell makes me want to build another engine. I've got the heads, valve train, and fuel injection from a 500EFI. I could either rebuild my 454 to make 450-475 or the 502 that's in the boat to make 500-525.
How much do you guys think I'd gain upgrading from my 415HP/502?
It's probably a $3000 investment and time away from boating this spring so I'm not so sure it make sence for this year...
