You're right, I was figuring 100 for the cam and the rest for extrude honing the manifold. I do my own porting, hopefully with a little more finesse than Kirk claims.

As for IT engines, if you were to take it to the same extreme as FF or FC, you could end up spending more on the engine than the rest of the car.

I stand by my original conclusion that CR is the rabbit class to run in the NW. I'm sorry to say that the SCCA is pretty weak in the NW. ICSSC may be small in a national context, but in the NW its miles ahead of the SCCA.
