The 540 is nothing more than a 520 with a bling pkg (that costs a lot) headers over manifolds, ecu work, different stickers and if I remember right valve covers. Our boat at Miami had 520's in it. What no one has mentioned is the fact that the 520 has a 2 yr warranty, the 540 (with the headers) only carries a 1 yr.
