I've been interested in the Gen III stuff for a while and the introduction of the Hellcrate has had me thinking about selling all my small block stuff and buying one. 700 reliable, drive anywhere horsepower for $15000, plus a 3 year warranty doesn't sound bad. But.........what could a guy build (gen III) for the same money? It would have to be reliable, run on pump gas, preferably boosted.

I know the Hellcrate will require a controller, wiring, headers and possibly a pan, but any gen III build will need all this stuff so it's a wash as far as costs go.

What do you guys think?
