Can't blame the place. People are the same from one site to the next. The Internet is like alcohol. It amplifies personalities and strengthens opinions.

Everybody play nice. I think it is a good question and one many boaters will face at some point. Lets see what others have to say about it.

How much for the 500? Rebuilding that 454 to make 500hp with that mfi setup may cost you a bit. I'd plan on some good heads and cam for sure. Then whatever EFI tuning or mods it'll need.

Without throwing out real numbers, I'm assuming the rebuild would cost a few less $ initially. The HP500 is built to get that HP from the get go. I say get the HP500 and run the piss out if it until IT needs to be rebuilt and then Whipple that girl. Well I am spending my friends money after all.

How much for the HP500 and how many hours on it? Does it come with the exhaust? If at all possible I'd go blue.

Also if you go with the HP500 when people ask "what you got in that thing?" you can say 502 instead of 454.

I would rebuild what u have. I am not a 500hp fan. If you do go with the hp motor do a valve job and make sure it is not running lean

It's the 500 EFI not the hp500. No lean condition or cylinder head problems to deal with.
