    It really depends on your horsepower goals. That RPW stuff aint cheap. I would do an EVO headswap before I started messing with RPW valvetrain due to the high cost of the RPW stuff. Everything sort of ties into each other, you cant really do a forged piston install without boring/honing the block, they while its all apart, why wouldnt you get forged rods and a polished crank? See what I mean? With bottom end work, its either all or nothing.

    i guess the only reason why i said go get an evo engine rather than a motor built, was because of the fact that i can grab an evo engine from japan so easy cause it's so close to guam. i guess i was talking from my point of view.. but good luck with the project jazz!!
