Short Block buildup - Opinions
This is what I would run, but with one substitution -> swap out JWT cams for BC stage 2 or 3. maybe it is my dislike of JWT, or maybe that the BC cams are cheaper???
I was gonna say, i'd trade XKR's motor in for that installed deal in a heartbeat! 
HR head gasket has been proven to be good enough for FI. There should be several people using them on their built motors, along with HR head bolts. Which its the way i went. Wiseco 8.8:1, eagle rod, acl bearings (which is the same Cosworth uses), HR head gasket and head bolt and rev up oil pump. For 500-600 I dont think Arias is worth the price, obviously if money aint an issue then go for them. But Wiseco's are in my opinion good enough for that power, theres car here in miami with even more power using them, also head work really isnt needed either for that power. btw this is all my opinion ofcourse, im no pro engine builder, just know few things here n there.
Other then that the eagle/wiseco combo I have used in cars making up to 850 rwhp w/o and problems
The HR gaskets are great for your goals just make sure you have the block water passages opened up.
The ACL bearing are what Cosworth uses and puts their name on so buy the ACL's cheaper without the Cosworth name on them
