That would deffinatly be cool if you could look up your invoice for me. I realize the price may be a bit high but, like I said they aren't just building the motor for me they are also putting it in the car then dyno/tuning it for me so I can put a 1,000 mile break in on it. Then after the break in they are going to tune the car for me to max flow of the turbo or untill knock becomes a problem. All this is included in the price.
Yeah I just kinda worries me because like I said before I paid 2k for my build (althought I pulled the motor myself and put it in myself) And In that 2k invoice it has eagle piston, JE rods, a new stock 2.4 crank, and all the machine work.

I took my car to them a second time for a rebuild, and it cost me 3k including them removing and replacing the motor.

The machining costs were what really stood out when I looked at cost. Especailly since all they do for a stroke is Bore & Hone the block (change the plugs as well) and balance the crank/pulleys, than put the whole thing in a huge big parts washer. I don't think I'm missing anything, and that defiantely is not 1600 bucks in work.

But like I said, I'll take a look at my invoice and let you know how your's compared to mine. And I'll keep the dyno tuning in mind.
