you do have to pay to play, here's the run down on what I ACTUALLY spent:
$5.5k for ADC kit
about $4k to have it, along with a new engine, installed and tuned.
$1700 in engine parts.
$1400 in tranny parts.
$800 for tranny labor (which is retarded because my tranny is a little messed up, but whatev).
So total=$13400.

eh, could've bought a new car, or used it as a downpayment, but since I could'nt afford insurance on a new car, and couldn't get rid of my car (it's nearly new as far as I'm concerned, 56k on clock), I did what I did. . .
