Want to keep that employee so he doesn't run off to the next guy? Might need to offer him a 401K and paid time off. Then the powdercoating for all these parts is also done in America, and all those same expenses get applied to the powdercoating.

Vehicle modification is never meant to be a budget hobby. We've got fly fishing and hunting for that! Once you rip into a car and do anything other than basic repairs, the cost goes through the roof. And if you want to use quality parts, the price goes even even higher! Try messing with Corvette's or any other platform besides Chevy trucks and you'll soon realize that these parts are fairly priced.
I don't fish, hunt, or even basket weave. I still don't have enough to afford one of the 'kits'.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
