~7k. Lingenfelter 417 short block. It comes with Callies dragon slayer crank, JE pistons, Oliver I-beam rods.
I haven't seen what rods/crank mast is using as it is not specified. I assume compstar?
Is the extra cost worth it to start with the Lingenfelter short block?
Anyone have experience with either company?

You might check out options from SDPC. At one time they were offering LS3 based 396s and 427s for just under $8k for a long block. With the CNC LS3 GM Castings I think the 427 was rated at something like 615HP. They don't advertise them on their website. But they advertise them at the shows they attend and multiple vehicle forums every once in a while.
