Well, let me put this to rest before it gets asked 40 more times:
Kit and purge were bought off E-bay, total of $650...
Chip was $329 less the $130 I got for my old one, so $200
Guage pod was $50.
Guages were about $245 I think, not sure
Switches were like $5
Plugs were $7
I had to get 5 feet of braided hose for the NOS guage, $40
Fill was $27 for a full bottle
Misc stuff like vacuum line, wires, connectors etc, bout $30
Do the math...adds up to bout $1275 or so, give or take. The chip and the guages were not "required" I just wanted them.

Awesome dude! Glad you found the right TB wire It looks like there are a few people here on the board that are attempting to install the Zex kit as well. If you could write up a pictoral "How-To" that would help some people out. Shots of the finished system should be fine. How's that flip chip working? Time to take her to the track, and bump up the pill. Go get'um dude!

Go get'um dude! I love the chip. I plan on going 100 shot as soon as the chip proves itself. The chip is set to boost fuel pressure and retard the timing 3°. I am taking her to the track on Friday. Our track bites monkey nuts but we will see how she does. My best before the NOS was a 15.1. That was at a great track, (Gainesville Raceway), the week before the gator nationals.. The track was primo and the weather was way cooler than now. I doubt it will be good times, but I gotta try!!!
