If you subtract out the HP that came with the car, which we will just say 300 RWHP as it is a 2002 then that number becomes $110.00
If that is the case and the LSX 90 mm TB and Intake is good for 20hp with a good cam, then $2200.00 would be what that combo is worth. So maybe $1200 is a good price after all at least by my numbers.

In my case it was about 13k to make in the area of 450 Xtra hp..which equates to $29 per hp over stock. This tells me in my case with LSX was woth about $580..I sold it for $600. Looks like Im $20 to the good. I gave up say, 10 HP to get an LS2...but between the rails and intake sale, and replacement with the LS2 I saved $320 for my pocket... So since were crunching #'s Im down 10 hp and up $60. Right back at that $28 per HP .
This was silly but fun.

Actually you are better off because you have $60.00 extra.

I do want to say this about the LSX setup. On a blown application, I am pretty sure that the LSX does not offer any benefit over the LS6. I saw no noticeable gain over the LS6 on my setup. I am thinking the only people that would enefit are N/A motors with bigger cams reving over 6000. I certainly did not see the 15-30 that others have been claiming. If I reved my motor over 6500 I might see a little difference but I highly doubt it. IMO forced induction just makes filling the cylinders too efficient and the benefits of the LSX setup are a wash. so to that end I wasted the $1200. which I could have used on a number of other items.
