Just as a point of reference an LPE 383 package with Callies, Oliver, JE rotating assembly, CNC/hand ported LT1 big valved heads, double springs/titanium retainers, 58mmTB, 211/219 cam, etc, etc.. installed in the car with all the bolt ons and dyno tuned is $14,200...At least with LPE you know what you're getting...

yeah thats quite a bit high. and I doubt the 450 HP FLYWHEEL mark either. not with those heads/cam. maybe cnc ported LT4 heads. even then Id think the cam is too small to make that.

it does come with alot of bolt ons though.
