not really enough u can get a turbo from trt but that cam will have to go and prolly the heads,ur better off just getting spray and save like 3500 bucks cause u have to upgrade so much stuff for FI, im going on 7000 and still not done, and ill still need a motor cause it prolly wont last. my .02 cents

just spray it that car will move and that cam loves spray.

You can get my base kit in a2a with mild steel, but you will still need fuel upgrades.

Any thoughts on the STS kit? I know 5k might not do it all but i was talking about the kit only. All together I didn't wanna do more than 8k. Thanks for all the info guys.

go to trt and he has some prcies couple different prices, that would be ur best bet. wish i went through them but i financed through sts. 8,000will get u like the gt67 turbo,42lbs injectors,all the piping,meth injection,intercooler,fuel pump,BOV,wastegate. with about maybe 3000 left over which would be smart and buy a forged motor.

If you do not have plenty of disposable income then look elsewhere. Because it will be a grand here, a grand there, another grand over there, for many many months or even years. It is not about getting in the game, its about staying in the game.
I hope i am not sounding like an ******* but this is the reality of the FI game.

Do you think with the mods I have now there would be any problem with just doing the Stage 1 kit?

Ask him to toss in 60s instead of the 42s.

...btw what is the static CR of the setup you have now? I wouldn't rule out an ATI SC at this point either... that M6 and 4.11 rear are little out of line for many rearmount setups.
