1. That k&n is costing you power not making it.
2. before we go any turther, do you have the capability to tune the ecm? anything you do that can make a real difference wtll take recalibrating it.
3. Sure, you can stick a procharger on it...hopefully when the crank and rods go thru the pan they dont keep going thru the bottom of the boat.
4. You can build about 400-450 out of that motor, if your smart, but your at the edge of what the cast crank and little rods are happy with. With a 454 mag, at 450 hop your just getting started
5. it IS cheaper to buy power than build power
6. This is what it looks like when you try to make horsepower in a 454 with a cast crank...
