720hp
695tq

For around 20k to 24k you can get a complete motor ready to drop in with forged internals. what do you think it would cost you to build this motor yourself? They are built to order!!

I dont know myself but wouldn't mind a few of your thoughts on this topic!

I built myself. It sounds like you want someone to built one for you???? Cubes don't matter when your setting up your own built. Yes i have forged everything i did my setup for s/c'ed i have over 1200whp. I built my motor in 2004 i have over 40k with 0 problems. Non s/c'ed i'm low 500ish that's because how i set it up. lower compression small cam. i just looked at link again rip off.
Well if you got the money buy it. There's a sucker born every minute. Hahahahahahaha
