Is is EFI or carb..could be either one....if carb..you might consider a 250 blower setup, run about 4psi or so..you could also do some porting on the heads like Jeff suggested and prob gain nearly 50hp..not sure if I would touch the cam or not..those HP500's have great cams in them that work very good and no rev problems, but that is also a choice...btw..stock hp is 500 @ the crank and 470hp @ the prop
After thinking about it..I guess you could only have a efi...carb was made until 2000 and efi started in 1999...so maybe the head work would be a good choice...OR THE WHIPPLE!

The quickest and easiest path to 550HP....
well take off the EFI system and intake and sit it on the shelf....then bolt on a single plane and 850 and spin the motor 5800....and yes, I am being serious....If you're going to SC, no need to stop at 550....go whipple or roots with carbs and put up 800+ reliably....

I didn't want to lose my efi, if he's anything like me, he won't either. What about just swaping out to Aluminum heads? That should be good for 40 hp.....no?

Don't waste money on the exhaust, you won't get any more hp. Those Gil's flow great.
If it's a carb, you have alot of options open to you.
If I were you I would fine a good engine guy close to you, check him out (talk to his customers) and then ask him what he would recomend.
