What do you want out of your setup? Nitrous beast? NA dragster?
The Eagle Forged Crank, CompStar Forged Rods, and Mahle Pistons are a cheap alternative that work well for NA and mild nitrous shots. $2100 and the Mahle pistons include the rings.
Or, you could go with a Callies Crank, Manley Rods, and Diamond pistons/rings for $3500 or so, and it'd be good for just about anything you could throw at it.

i have the nx direct port shooting a 200, after this possibly as much as 300 once or twice. i want JE or Diamond pistons, Scat or Eagle rods, Eagle crank. i think this would be about the best i could get for the price.

Yeah, those Scat rods are rated to 900HP and are around $585 or so. I like those and the CompStar (Callies) rods for the price ~$600. I know CompStar comes with ARP Rod bolts, but I don't know about Scat. The Eagle 3D rods are perhaps a tad cheaper and are still reliable.
Diamond runs around $580-600 + $130 for rings, so Mahle is cheaper and seems to be as good. JE runs about the same price as Diamond.
And the Eagle crank is about $900, so you're looking at $2195 with Diamond/JE and $2060 or so with Mahle pistons with either the CompStar, Scat, or Eagle rods. It might come down to which piston/rod combo comes with the most "extra" parts for similar cash if $2200 is pushing your budget. I'm sure a sponsor can hit you up with a slight discount if you buy a complete kit balanced from them.
