cool, but for less than half you could have built an LS6 and slapped a rooster booster on there and had more power, and you'd still have money leftover after the install.....but i'm a cheapass.
Hey guys I have been preparing this for my own record, but I figured I'd share with you guys what it costs to go from my setup now, to this new setup. Granted the horsepower range is a huge difference... the new setup will be able to hold about 600 - 700 more horsepower than the current setup. Not that I plan to try and hit 1000 hp, but the components are all capable.
This is before tax on stuff and before shipping on stuff, nor does it include labor of building the exhaust/piping/manifold/etc. It also does not take into consideration ANY of my engine build costs. The cost of the new pistons/rods is factored in though, but none of the machine work and rebuild parts.

I'd have 1/4 the challenge, 1/4 the balls, and 1/4 the fun. I could swap in a 454 with 800 on spray too... but again...Originally Posted by bimmerd00d
