I'm kinda scared to figure it out eek

Bassani-$480
SHO Shop Y-pipe-$300
Quaife and installation-$1900
audio stuff-$800
B&M-$120
Air Fuel Gauge-$60
Battery Relocation-$40
Vortech-$3400
Gauges for blower(not yet installed)-$150
Gauge pod(not yet installed)-$40

I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff.

Thats $7290

That doesn't include the stuff I have bought and sold:

Customized stock exhaust
SMA Exhaust
Nitrous kit
SHO Shop Pulleys
SCA CAI kit
KKM

If you add that stuff on as well, I'm sure it would be well over $8000

I did all the installations myself (except the Quaife) so that saved me a little money.

I should have over $10,000 in it by the time I get it payed off in 2 more years laugh


Speed kills, but it beats going slow!

Well, with a system like the one you have, man drop the !@*##!! 3.0 in that sucker! Moblie video or 3.0L? Hmmm.....for me the choice would be clear. 3.0 all the way....

oh ya forgot to tell ya that I have the Ford's extended warrenty so thats why I'm almost getting the Video stuff 1st.
If I go with the Supercharger, then I know of a dealer that will still warrenty my work, but if I get the 3.0 then I'm up a creek all by myself. So thats what I'm debateing right now.
Who know I just might do both given that I have time in do the resurch on lowering the comperssion of a 3.0 so I can have a supercharger too. I'm waiting to see the
Sho-SHop WindJammer supercharger out this summer....................
Don't worry I'll keep you posted
