So do I have to like something just because everyone else does? Is one not allowed to their own opinion, stock KA-T's are a good bang for the buck, until they go bang, built KA-T's I believe are better than built SR's, SR's have been in the performance market for a long time now, and KA-T's ave just been coming around, KA-T's are starting to make big power. Take your base cost of your stock SR redtop 2.5k for a decent motorset, then your big money in EMS, and turbo setup, to make 450hp. Take that 2k you put into your SR motorset pull your KA, build it, rods, pistons, rebuild, and put the same turbo setup on it. You have a old used redtop making 450 could go any day, it used, don't know how much fun the last guy had with it. Take that fully rebuilt, new KA pull 450 out of it, but you have the head room for alot more than 450, and 450 barely even pushes a built ka-t.

So in parts you have the same cost but a new built motor on one hand. All of the prices are only parts, saying you do all of the labor yourself. Built KA-T's the better option.
