No way around it....you're going to spend around $15,000 to do it the correct way if going F/I. If you want to go N/A, just get a fully built LsX block 440+ci and get 600rwhp N/A. You're friend has to ask himself what he wants to do with the car?

Sounds like money well spent. I know with all the money I spent I changed nearly everything you can think of. Heads, cam two times, intake two times, clutch, drive shaft, rear end, radiator, front brakes, front rotors, electric water pump, under drive pully, injectors, headers, catback (no cats), Zo6 rear brake ducts, and I think that is pretty much it. Oh yeah several sets of plugs and wires.

Maggie it (guess I am in the minority here!).

With the Motor City Mold hood it was about $9k.

No complaints and the car is incredible.
