THE reason why you should plan on doubling or tripling the cost of your setup
D1SC tuner kit cost me $3800 out the door
Fuel system cost me another $2300
Tranny set up another $5000
Rear end another $2300
Motor another $5500
All the little stuff another $3000
and I wasn't even fast.

here is an example why: Today i just ordered 4 small things i needed, didnt really think about that i needed them untill im getting closer to the end of my install
i needed
exaust paint
bends to make a radiator hose, as my placement is custom
3 quarts of tranny fluid as i drianed it out getting the tranny out all by my self (came unlevel, spilled out, didnt have a plug)
and header wrap paint
the total was $135
last week i spent another $100 to get a couple of little things like a few silicon reducers i needed, a couple of clamps, header wrap, and two relays.
this stuff adds up, and alot of it i cant even remeber what all i bought that drove this cost way up.
you got to pay to play my friends.

Summit is building a new warehouse with over the counter sales less than 20 miles from my house. At least with mail order I could decide not to buy things because I didn't want to wait on or pay for shipping. Now I will be able to get parts I don't really need and be halfway through installing them before I realize how much I spent.
