Also why I feel that my $6K motor is getting shunned is that everyone doesn't grasp it's capabilities. This block was built for road racing (sustained high RPM) and all the components used where sourced accordingly. Yet nobody can see past the sticker price. $6K shipped is an awesome deal for a drop in engine and trust me, I'm loosing quite a bit of money on it! That figure is parts alone and doesn't account for assembly & packaging for S&H.

As much as I value your input Tom, I don't see how you can say that you can build a 500+hp engine when the rods are not proven to that power rating. However you "feel" is not what has been proven.
