New Engine

you can order the stroker kit for $1700 or so balanced, with piston upgrades, and rings and bearings. So depending on how he's pricing, it may be a bit high. (he may have included all the numbers in case you were thinking different options..So adding them all together is misleading. The porting is a little high depoending on the work, but the balance is IMO cheap. Big valves cost the same as small ones..better valves cost more. Forged pistons run from about 30% more than a decent hyper as high as you want to go for nice stuff. That's about 60% more than a stock cast piston. Cam prices vary by design, not lift. MP cams are all the same price, depending on design too. (solid vs hyd vs roller) He's basically telling you, the better the part..the more money..That's honest.
