Default what do u think about my shortblock?

I just odered my forged 365ci ls2 from LME for my turbo, and Iam getting Lunati's pro-mod rods. Anybody used them? I heard that Lunati's parts are okay, but they sometime they bend. Any other rods you guys suggest? Planning on something thats good up 1100 just to be safe.

this is what I got so far, what do u think?

LS2 block, timing set, timing cover,valley cover, lifter trays, GM
nodular iron 3.622" stroke, Lunati 6.125" Pro Mod rods w/ ARP
2000 7/16" bolts, Wiseco custom forged turbo pistons, NPR
stainless chrome rings 1.2 1.2 3mm, Federal Mogal 152M mains,
Clevite cb663 H rods, Dura Bond cam brgs, ARP main studs

Pro Billet's would be good to that HP. Not sure about pro-mod's though... Question is are you ever going to come even close to that level?

If you don't mind me asking how much did this setup cost you?
