Wow by no means is my motor worth a quarter of that one. I have pretty much everything he has except pistons and smaller injectors

Is that some sort of bad joke?
Eagle and Keith Black are NOT names you should see accosiated with a motor costing half that much.
What are "stage II" rods, most "stage" rods I have seen are rebuilt OEM stuff with varying degrees of prep work and hardware quality.
Never seen blue rockers from a LT4 HOT kit, not even the picture ho posts of the kit has blue rockers.
As cast LT4 heads and intake are a joke, MUCH better off with ported stockers.
HOT cam in a stroker is proof of a high level of ignorance.

BBK MAF matched to injectors?????? sounds like he thinks this is a Mudstain because that is how they tune those, we have a cheap and easily accessed pcm which is THE one and only right way to tune.

The whole package is aimed at some idiot incapable of any form of research, it all sounds good but is NOT.
450fwhp is WEAK, I bet it struggles to put 350rwhp down.

You want to do a motor right, Compstar rotating assembly $2100 or close too it, $1500 for machining and assembly, $2000 AI 200cc heads and cam, say another $600 in other valvetrain, add another $400 as a generous number for finding core block and heads and another $1000 in ignition, balancer injectors, lets throw in another $1000 for stuff I forgot, maybe a 4 bolt conversion or whatever. Brings my total up too $8600, and NA I bet this would walk all over that Ebay crap on the bottle. I was going all new here, most of us have been picking away at things for awhile, maybe we already have bigger injectors or a new opti or other stuff you would reuse pushing my figure down. You could push it up using more expensive valvetrain too, I was figuring somewhat budget but good stock style lifters and normal roller rockers sort of thing.

Some Corvette owner who doesn't know how to open the hood will buy that crap.

Now I'm going to have to find the threads if they weren't deleted so this thread doesn't go apeshit with the exact same thing we talked about a few months ago.

EDIT: That took 3 minutes and found under rip off

Those look like Scorpion rockers. You can get a set for less than $200. The "stage II" rod looks like Eagle I beams in the pics. Of course Scorpion rockers don't come with the LT4 kit either. Summit has an I-beam rod they call "stage II" for less than 500 hp. If that's a true LT4 conversion kit, 1/17 of that cost is the manifold.
