The only time that equation doesn't make sense is if the cost and labor of removing the mod (like your stroked engine) is too cost-prohibitive.

Mods add pennies on the dollar to a complete vehicle. Parted out you can usually get anywhere between 50-75% of the original part cost depending on the condition and what it is.

More importantly, the majority of buyers would "prefer" a completely stock car for them to modify. A heavily modified car may be appealing to just the right buyer, but it narrows your market substantially.
