Ok, want 550 Hp and factory looks out of my 454 Mag Mpi's. They are the 385 hp models. No superchargers (I think)
Who has the proven combination?

I agree with that. I dont understand how blower manufacturers can advertise their systems as a "Bolt On" . As Tyler said, at least change the head gaskets and valves.

Why is 550 not going to happen? The crank & rods will handle it. The heads need a little work & a piston change to get 10:1 with the right cam should get there. I don't think I am out of line with what I want. Am I???
Tyler's kit nets 485 and that is just a cam swap & head work. 65 more HP doesn't seem out of reach.
