Yes I'm new here. I have a 502 HP500 carbed, possibly a 95 (motor was not factory installed according to velocity). I want to upgrade the cam for some more power and a meaner sound, I tried emailing teague but he never returned the email. I was also wondering how much of a difference swapping in some 1.8's for the 1.7's makes and what is a good brand? Pros cons if any? Thanks in advance.

I just placed my order with Bob yesterday for a custom grind cam. He is the cam guru. I will let everyone know the results in a few weeks. Good luck with your project!!

You should pull the motor to change the cam unless you have lots of room in front. It is very important to degree a cam in properly, particularly in a marine (wet exhaust) evironment. This would be hard to do through a 2" hole. FWIW
