Just saw it at the Maimi show. Has aluminum heads, fresh water cooling, differant throttle body, new CMI headers, uses the new 555 ECM. About $6k more than the 500.

Beg your pardon that's 30 more hp!!!!!! When will this Merc rage stop?????? Is MPI worth that kind of money? NOT IN MY BOOK! Really, how much does it cost to build a 500 hp 502 by a good engine builder and then take it further and have him dyno it. Do it right and it will be 95% as good as an MPI motor. Till we have a smoge law to hell with MPI. Sorry Cord I did read about the 525 but I didn't think it was even close to prototype.

I asked the price and they told me it would be 8K more than 500efi. I cannot imagine that the performance will be much different than 500efi. its only 5%hp more for 6-8K?????? However the closed cooling is a good idea.
My 2 cents
