Looking for opinions on aluminum or another replacement head for a Merc 500 efi. Not trying to break the bank or have to do any mapping. Just looking to bolt on and go. Is this possible? Are there any gains to be had? Options or opinions?
Thanks

Call Bill at Ateco. He has recently put together an excellent kit with Aluminum heads, ARP studs, and more and have been getting 600+ on the dyno.
Though you may not want the full kit, its the heads that are the magic!! Call him at (847)623-2737. At least you'd have great info and proven heads that work.

Be interested in the ballpark cost as well as knowing if the original Merc head covers will still fit?? Trying to look as stock as possible.
