All said and done (counting fuel upgrades, cam, heads, wraps, gauges, FMIC, etc)...... about $9000 You can do it for cheaper, but that's hat it cost me. Had TRT in Texas install the heads/cam/wrap the exhaust and add a couple gauges for me while I was in Iraq, but the rest of it all...to include the final tuning was done my me. So, I guess if I did all my own labor I could have done it for $8K.

If you're looking for one, send me a PM. Asking 3500 for kit with gt67 upgrade and TRT Front Mount setup. I've got other items as well to go with it. Also, if it's not my kit, so long as you find a complete kit, you should be able to get things done reasonably depending on your HP goals. If you're staying on a stock shortblock, I'd say for somewhere between 5k and 6k (when buying a used kit) you can do most everything you'd need to reach the 500+rwhp mark.

There are quite a few sponsers I know of that can get the base kit, t60, no intercooler or BOV for 3200-3300 Brand New from STS
By the time you add up the Necessary upgrades bigger turbo, Front mount, exaust wrap, BOV, etc its well over 4K once you factor in Fuel, tuning, and Gauges your near/over 5K...

I mention why I don't like them in this list here. Can they work? Certainly, but from what we have found you will go through a lot of hassles. Bob

Yea if I was you... a good planning figure would be ~5k installed with the right trimmings (FMIC, Fuel upgrades, Labor, etc)... that is assuming your going to have someone install it for you.

2300.00 For a used kit (but complete) w/ Guages and Upgraded to GT70
400.00 For 60lb injectors
50.00 For a Meth Injection Kit (bought it from a friend)
250.00 For Racetronix PnP Kit
400.00 Full Dyno Tune
0.00 Valvesprings/Pushrods were already on car
0.00 Free Install (myself)
-------------------
Total: 3400.00
But now deciding to upgrade the tranny as well, since the stock 4L60e will probably be fried during the dyno tune. Thats another 1600.00 (self install). So its closer to 4000.00.
But at the sametime, im going to sell my exhuast system, my SLP lid and bellow, and stock tranny, and stock injectors, so im sure i can make some money back. So its not too bad

Thanks dude. I like your sig by the way. Ive notice a lot of haters too, but i got faith in this kit. I notice you were close to 10's with that old setup, im sure you'll have no problem hitting 10's with that new setup. Im going to get the tranny done, but now im worried about my 10 bolt now, lol. I know being an auto that the stock 10 bolt can last a little bit longer, becuase an auto doesnt "shock" the rear end like an m6 would. Are you on a stock rear end?
