Question CA18ET Max hp?

I posted this up on club s12....but not many responses, so I thought I'd post here.

How much power can the ca18et make? Whats it capabile of?
Whats the max it would make with the stock cam, and head?
Whats the max it would make with aftermarket cam, and ported head?

I'm asking because I'm debating on getting that HP Performance short block rebuilt kit from Flat Lander, and a set of their Pauter billet rods to go with it.
They told me the kit is good for 800-1000 hp, and the rods are good for 40psi.
They said the block and crank are good for around 700 hp

Scroll down to # 9 for the parts list of the kit....

I'm trying to figure out if this build up is worth the $$, or if I should scrap the whole thing and go CA-DET. Only problem is.....I won't have the $$ to buy a DET and rebuild it too......so it would be going in bone stock.

Any help would be great
