Can you squeeze more power out of a 5.7 mercruiser by putting a Holley on it? and if so how much? Also what other mods can be made to that engine without compromising reliability?
IMO a holley is one of the better carbs available. You can probably get a tiny bit more power if you go with a holley and fine tune the jetting, power valve and secondary opening rate.
