is it worth it make more power by doing heads and intake on a 502 mag mpi, without a large cost and if so what kind of power increase would there be . the motor has a 500 efi cam in it and crane roller rockers from the same 500 and a upgraded ecu

How much power do you want to end up with?? The MPI intake in naturally apsirated form is only good for about 575-600 hp due to flow restrictions. If you add a supercharger you can see close to 800 hp with the right heads and cam and tuning.

Swap out the heads, clean up the airflow on that intake setup. get a custom ground cam specific to the flow of the heads/intake and you will see around 600 hp at 5500 rpm. You will need to have ecm retuned again for most horsepower. I milled an inch off the runners to remove the restriction because they stick up into the upper plenum. It took a while but was worth about 20 hp and 200 rpms on top.
