    I was just wondering if anybody knows of any kits made by Crocket or Teague or any other engine guys that will work well with A 502 EFI engine . am looking to change maybe cam heads or what ever i need for a little power but i dont know what direction to go thanks

    Cylinder heads, cam and ECU re-program would wake it up a bit.
    As long as the exhaust is decent.

    Edelbrock Marine alum heads are inexpensive and the Crane 139731 cam is good for that engine. Not sure what EFI kit you are looking at.
    A whipple would do the trick for sure.

    I would save the money and whipple it later. Takes a fair amount of $$$$ to make a notable difference in HP to just put a whipple on it later. An OEM EFI set up is a pain to hop up unless you go with a proven package and have it dialed in. Not like working on a carb set up. Just my 02.

    is it a must, or even suggested to change the cam when just adding a whipple charger to a BBC?

    Well that all depends on your current set up. If you are running a wild cam now with tons of duration and narrow lobe center then yea you would want to change it. Also depends on how much HP / Boost you plan on running. Higher boost applications mainly run a wider lobe center so you do not blow everything out the exhaust. If you post some engine and boat specs I am sure infomaniac can give you some good choices besides some others here.

    In that case I would suggest Dart or Brodix heads.
    It is tuff to choose parts to pick it up now N/A and the same parts work well with a blower.

    There is always a "better" cam.
    On the other hand even a little boost is night and day difference as compared to no boost. With no changes to the engine.
    There are a lot of recommended changes to complimemt the blower. It all just depends, every specific situation is different.
