I can gaurantee that you do not need any of the above to do that on most of the cars and can be done for that price range quite easily.

Yes it has been mentioned as a part of the stage 2 where porting and polishing has been mentioned and yes the rates can vary depending on the application. But the rates have taken more as a range / indicative value rather than the total cost.

These kits are not available commonly here and mainly used by racers. Very rarely do street cars in India use the same.
Do realise that the cost is a starting cost for Overboring and yes Stroker kits are expensive. But a couple of Indian cars can be stroked without the need of importing parts at all. Do personally know of enough people with stroked engines around done locally.

Yes that can be true.
