Well like I said, this is not an ultra high-performance machine by any stretch, but it's not supposed to be an absolute dirt-cheap rebuild either. To give you an idea - I'm using the stock crank, stock rods w/ ARP bolts, hypereutectic pistons, iron heads, probably a mid 9s CR with a street performance cam... that type of thing. Shooting for 350-400hp N/A, maybe a 5500 redline. Nothing astronomical, but not the cheapest stuff either.

So do you think having it zero decked is reasonable for my setup? Or overkill for what I'm doing?
