I hear this mostly about some of the stuff you get off of summit. Pre-packaged SCAT, Eagle stuff etc.
I've not really heard anything along those lines for the Butler assemblies.
I did a quick bit of math and doing a Butler assembly with a forged crank is about $1100.00 more than purchasing their Rebuilder kit with pistons and rods standalone. It's not apples to apples as I priced molnar rods, but didn't select the molnar rod upgrade on the assembly. Actual cost difference is probably closer to $1400.00
This engine will never have any nitrous on it and I've let go of the idea of building any type of boosted engine. I just don't need it with how I use the car. Heck, if the engine already had a decent steel rod in it, I'd probably just send out the heads and intake for porting. I'm not looking for gobs more power than I already have.
I believe as the car sits it has a 12.90 in it with a slick and some tuning. Not bad in 8000 ft air.
