The rods are probably the weakest part of the stock rotating assembly. You don’t have rods in your build but you have pistons and sleeves ? NA, a built motor is really overkill, especially a sleeved one. Let your builder choose the rods and main bearings, they are going to want to size them anyway. Really, it’s just cheaper to buy a built block from someone like IAG. A built head with bigger valves is going to net you a small return for dollar. Have you gone to a shop like Headgames and seen what this type of work costs? I would recommend you be sitting down when you read the pricing sheet on their website.

Why a high output alternator?

Why spend all this money on a motor build but then not put a known quality header on the car?

Why not flex fuel kit? Single biggest dollar for gain power mod you can do if you have e85 available to you.

Why ICS coilovers? Why not something known to work well on this platform like RCE’s or CSG spec Flex A’s?

Why a 4 point cage but no harness and seat? Or HANs for that matter.

You list what tail lights and oil filter you are going to run but not tire/wheel combo or brake pads. Other items on your list also don’t make sense but a couple other things need answered first. Do you have previous track experience? What is done to the car currently?
