Those were all, worse-case scenario figures. A 90* mandrel bent pipe can cost up to $50 for an aluminum piece. A 90* elbow, like on the throttle body, can also cost up to $50. A single silicone hose piece can cost up to $30. IF you can't weld it yourself, or get somebody to do it free, it will cost you a pretty penny. Tuning can cost up to $1000 for the SCT pro-racer with dyno time.

How are you doing the tuning free? Are you a chip tuner with your own shop, dyno or a portable wideband? Even if you have an older ECU with a return fuel line, I wouldn't use just a rising rate FPR, and timing boost retard box on these engines. Properly sized injectors, bigger MAF, and a chip or ECU reflash is the prefered method.

$3000 for 200whp is about as cheap as it gets for these engines. If you know what you're doing, and you can weld, have your own mandrel bender, and portable wideband or dyno, then you might drop that price down to $2000, maybe less, but all that other stuff will cost you a mint.
