It's not optimism, it's what I was quoted, albeit many years ago
Plus Crower cams from the US would do them for $1,200, or $1,000 each for 2 sets but shipping/customs may be an issue.

Flywheel would either be the fidanza one rpw offer or just mill your current one

I have a light flywheel and exedy hd clutch arriving in the next day or two from a local supplier
$440 and $460 respectively.
Flywheel is CrMo and weighs the same 5.2kg that rpw claim for their alloy.
This suppliers 3.2kg alloy one is discontinued unfortunately.

So, after being supplied with an 8 bolt flywheel, the correct one should arrive Monday..
In the meantime, WTAC was on this w/end, and it wasn't too bad. Best part was picking up this;
