WOW!!!!!!!! I'm glad I'm not you and have to pay that much for 900 HP. I'm not big on throwing numbers out there as I never Dyno my engines but I should be in that neighbourhood for a lot less than that.

16.200 dollars

I may have left out a few things but I also didn't pay that much for several of these items. I do my own work (as you could do too) and I'm always on the look-out for deals. Mopars are only expensive if YOU let them be. Sure Chevy racers have more choices but if you don't like it, join them. I love beating Fords and Chevies. Even more so with my Edelbrock headed small block.



Both are all new parts carb to pan and dyno sheet





Parts I listed are all new too and nobody touches my engines and I could care less about some corrected DYNO sheet. The guy that parks next to me every week bought a chevy Shaffroff engine (shaftjunk) and when he took it apart he couldn't believe his eyes. No thanks.
