Vortech Supercharger (polished)- $4200 brand new
Vortech Install- $900
Banjo Bolt Upgrade- $140
Spugen Ti Exhaust- $500
T1R Test Pipe- $100
total costs: $5640
Needs:
Clutch- roughly $1000 installed
Injectors- roughly 300 installed
EMS w/ wideband- roughly $1400 installed
Tuning- $300-$500
total cost $3200, also planing on upping the boost...so a pulley and belt will be needed

Just with the turbo kit/clutch/tuning/parts here and there that all add up... I would say that I am close to 10k, and that isn't taking the TON of time that I put into it to get it where it is. Its a damn money pit, but the car moves now!
SC/AEM/injectors/install and tune.....$7500.00.
BUT...that led up to the desire of MORE boost, so, on its way (it's addicting..)
Laskey built engine and head (5K), clutch (2K), pulleys and gauges ($750.00). and don't forget install and tune (2K)....and you don't want to know of "supporting" mods..
Its all good. The car is a joy drive. Next up...turbo??? Or SELL everything and buy a boat!!!

Geez.
UR kit (used) 3500
UR kit to replace the crap that was sold to me initially by a member who will remain unnamed 2000
AEM EMS w/UEGO 1500
Block and head 5000
Lovefab parts(including injectors and fuel pump) 3000
Lovefab exhaust 750
Cusco Hyper Single 1000
Gauges 300 or so
Tuning 1000 or so
tires...

Not to mention I can't do anything automotive myself, so I spent a fortune on installation. I'm probably close to 20 grand. Still not running. BUT...it'll all be worth it in a couple of weeks I think.

Like others have said, it started out at "x" amount for 310hp. Then it was "x+y" for 370hp. Then it was "x+y+z" for 395hp sc'd.
I really don't want to add it up, because I'm a grown man and try not to cry.
