Default summit rebuild kit quality?

summit has a small block rebuild kit they say from $210 with speed pro pistons and fel pro gaskets, anyone familiar or have experience with this and do you think it would be good enough for a projected 350 hp engine?

Are you running a stock engine....heads....intake....carb....exh aust???? What horsepower are you pulling now? Auto or manual trans??? What are you going to use this 350 horsepower for??? Street, Strip???

The best power improvements for the street are made through heads, intake and exhaust.....not the bottom end.....anyway, for $210, it sounds like this "kit" is pistons only, which is probably OK if yours are cracked.....

For any real advice you need to fill us in on what you've got and what you want it for.....
