John, you forgot about aluminum heads, 4-link & coilovers, wheel tubs, big tires, little seats, motor plates, etc. It costs a lot more to setup an SS car that's competitive... not looking for power edge (at least not with repl rockers) just parts that won't break and don't cost a mint (and can be found). OH! wait a minute.... these are RACE cars -- NOTHING is cheap!!! ..... LOL
