Default EBay Top End Kit

Wondering what people's thoughts are on this...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LS1-LS6-TOP-END-KIT-with-CNC-MACHINED-COMPLETE-HEADS-AND-90MM-THROTTLE-BODY-/300802530449?pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item46093a5c91&vxp=mtr
Says it can produce up to 520 but doesn't specify anything else.

Thoughts?

(I had this posted in the wrong section yesterday, reposted it here)

I'd stay as far away from that **** as humanly possible. Cheap chinese cast 1.8 rocker arms? HELL NO. It doesn't even state what heads these are based off of.

That intake looks like a Weiand knockoff.

That's a big negatory on that set up. The flow numbers are very low for a 225cc head for one. The intake is heavy and you can cook an egg on top of those typhoon intakes as they heat soak so much. Stay away from any non proven aftermarket rocker arms, especially 1.8's!

Looks like a bunch of cheep Chinese crap parts...the flow numbers for the heads are low...I've got a set of TEA 5.3 heads that flow 316 on the intake side. I would not spend a dime on that crap.
