If I hadn't found the pump separate for a really good price I would have gotten the kit from Lonnies Performance or Nasty Performance and it will run around $1800 but it is complete and plug and play.

There are a couple items which I will have to wait on since I have had a couple unexpected expenses but they will be done within next year for sure but they are not things that I can't get the car up and running without.

My block came in today and I will post pictures after I get it out of the crate. Also my dual fuel pump came in today. I am planning on using a hobbs switch but I am not exactly sure what to set it to so it kicks on when needed. Or maybe not run a hobbs switch at all?

I have a question. I noticed you went with the K1 parts. Are you not afraid that they are reaching their limit with your planned power levels? I ask because I am considering the same rods and crank with a max of 650 whp/wtq.

I know plenty of guys running a Procharger with 500+ rwhp on stock internals so I think I will be fine on the K1 stuff.

They are forged and I seriously doubt I will reach their limit with my build if I was like 800 or so I would be worried. The pistons I have are made for really high HP applications and the rods are made specifically for strokers and are forged as well as the crank. Are you getting the stroker rods? Those are the ones I have.

one other note. I called wiseco as well to discuss my power goals and their pistons. their sales staff said that the wrist pins on the pistons should only be used to about 600-700hp. Again, I don't know how often they fail on people. Did you consider the upgraded wrist pins or have you done research and determined it isn't necessary?

The ones I have come with Chromoly wrist pins standard you can choose to have tool steel but I don't know why you would.The Chromoly should with stand my build no problem. The pistons I bought aren't their cheaper ones so they are stronger meaning a better alloy used and an overall better design.
Some info on them below:
-2618 Alloy: Will not shatter like hypereutectic or cast pistons
-Strutted skirt design is the strongest and specially designed to run at as little as .004" clearance, with excellent skirt wear and minimal noise or rock
-Radiused Valve Pocket for detonation resistance and increased flow around valves
-Anti-detonation Grooves with the added benefit of keeping the top ring groove free of carbon
-3mm oil rings for better oil control and reduced friction for more horsepower
-Pressure Groove for enhanced ring seal
-Features Chrome Moly Pins and Spiralox (Tool Steel pins optional)
-Race-ready domes don't require deburring by the engine builder
-Skirt coated for lower friction, reduced noise, and superior life
-Multi-fit valve pockets for interchangeability of cylinder heads

Based on their construction and my power level, I think I will be just fine but I may call them and ask about the pin upgrade and my application to see what they suggest. Thanks for the information though.
