Realistic expectations?
The kit was 20K, 2K a/c, about 15K for parts (with the engine), 3K performance stuff, paint 10k, wheels 6K, Trans 6K, rest is labor for the build. It can be built with a stock LS6 for about 55K without going crazy on extras and you doing all of the labor. Realistically if someone else builds the car the range is 85K-130K. The stock LS6 will do 0-60 in 3.2sec. I will keep you guys posted, the car is in for paint and the motor will go in after that.
As for Headers Kooks is willing to custom make me some LT for around $1,000 or the whole exhaust with cats and high flows for $1800.00. I would prefer to keep the stock heads because I am planning a TT set-up once 10K makes itself available. Here is a video of Dave"s completed car. Turn up the sound!

The prices to assemble range from 30K to 50K depending on how custom you want the build. The parts can be 25-70K, again depending on what you want. The paint is on top of these prices. I am not a builder simply a car nut without the time to turn the wrench.
I would think it would be close, maybe a 228'ish cam instead, but I really really like that car. Just sounds great, not what you would expect to hear from a car that looks like that.
You expect the hi chainsaw pitch of a bunch of tiny cylinders..LOL
