what i mean is; when you made these kits and put them on built or semi built motors, where did the owners get their internals from?
http://www.raceeng.com/c-44-sport-compact.aspx

this is where zpi gets there stuff.

its also alot cheaper. i ordered pistions, rods, rod bearings, and main bearings from zpi for $1,600.(thats with a hundred dollar discount) when i got my package dropshiped from race, the invoice to zpi was only $1,100. so basicly i paid $500 to zpi for them to place an order.
About a 30%-50% markup is normal in any business. If people saw what stores pay for the stuff they buy everyday, they'd all have a melt down. Although I can see anyone being upset with that. I feel you bro.

i dont care how anyone tries to sum it up. you will never convince me that $500 is an acceptible price to pay for making an order for me. if i had known this information before hand, i would have drove to race, which is not even 15 mins from my house, and bought the stuff there.

That was the retail price? I thought that was dealer price.

click on the link. put what you want in a shopingcart. and then do the same on zpi's website. after that look at the difference and ask yourself. do i need to throw that money away?

Really nice!
But now that you posted it up in this thread, when I post mine up, it won't be as impressive!!! You steeler of thunder!

Oh well, now I have a number to shoot for and I know what potential my kit will have!
