Yes, a number of things like turbo and EFI mfg. did change over the course of the build, but the goal was always the same.
You said my CNC ported V heads would be ~80% of a full race head and would flow ~450cfm. Do they?
You recommend 55mm cam journal, yet ordered a standard journal block.
I asked for a Langer oil pan, does the engine have one?
You said you’d fix the water cross-over so it didn’t look unfinished. You even stated that in a PY post.
You ordered the wrong fuel regulator after being told/emailed multiple times it will not flow enough fuel.
You said the cam was going to be a custom turbo cam with 4-7, 2-3 swap, is it?
You said I commissioned the IndyCartel to build the headers up to the collector. You might want to check the invoice; your name is on it.
What did I ask for that wasn’t possible?
Dry vs. Wet deck
SuperDamper vs. Powerbond
Quality rocker arms
Spring pressure suitable for the intended application
Please explain to me why if I was willing to pay for a superdamper and better rocker arms I couldn’t get them? I find it hard to believe that Tony would refuse to put higher quality parts on an engine.

You got exactly what you asked for from the beginning. Then it became post my progress updates on the internet for "peer review" without all the facts. Just like you are leaving out facts on here.
Just like the fact that you want a street engine, and Tony refuses to put any more spring on a street engine. He wont do it. NADA. End of story. Now I have posted that 3 times on this thread, and you still dont get it. I tried 500++ emails to explain these items till I am blue in the face and have writer's cramp. You still dont get it.
Your rockers I have run for 30 years as all the Super Stock Pontiac guys without failure with more spring pressure as you. Tony said he has never had a problem with hundreds of engines with these rockers. How many times on this thread have I said this?
At some point in time either I stop repeating myself, we agree to disagree. You maxed out my email server's ability to even count my attempt at accomodating you. We did the best we could. You have a great engine, but you are still worried about the amount of vanilla added to the chocolate cake.
