the best way to do engine build is to go backwards.
1) how much money do you have to spend or are gonna spend on this project?
2) what hp,et and mph do you want to run?
3) whats the most n2o you will shoot?
4) how many street miles a year will you drive it?
5) do you have to pass emmisions?
6) what rear gear do you have?
7) stick or auto?
8) weight of car?

i've checked out that guys auctions several times and always thought about buying stuff from him, but it takes him almost a week to respond to e-mails and they never answer there phones, so i didn't want to take a chance of getting ripped so if you do get it from him let me know how everything goes....

As far as the parts go, they are of essentially the same quality as the parts already in your motor from the factory. The only way they are an "upgrade" is that they are new and that you will gain ~30ci from the longer stroke. IOW, unless you need a rebuild anyway, don't bother. The same $$$ put into the heads will give you a lot more power. A stroker with the stock heads will give you a bit more torque (~5-7%) and move your hp peak lower in the rev band. But you will not see a huge hp increase and it will be no stronger than a stock motor.
These would be appropriate parts for a budget rebuild. The labor, unless you can do it yourself, will cost a lot more than the parts! As far as the specific vendor, I don't know anything about them. But the large amount of positive feedback is a good sign and the price is fair.
