I am running the drop in piston and rod combo. Along with a cam, dod delete, vvt lock, head studs, little stuff and a couple of tools I have $4050 in my motor. With that gpi set I would have more like $3200 in the motor. So far I would guess I am up around 900hp. I will actual numbers soon.

$4k for a motor that should hold 1000hp seems reasonable to me. My other option was to just order a fully built 416 from someone and spend $12k-$20k depending on who you go with. Of course you could do a budget 416, there are a lot of ways to go.

I am not afraid to break something and have plenty of turbo and fuel. I will likely find the limit of my $4k engine eventually and it wouldn’t surprise me if it was 1100+hp
