You truly have no idea do you.

It's been done as cheap as ~$700.

I priced a solid 3L build (full swap) at around $1200-1500. That's basing the price off a $750-900 01+ 3L.


As you can see by my project vs project cost you can get a hell of a lot more overall performance for your $3200 then buying a S/C. That's also not even considering it's weak areas or the price to fix them.


Yes a S/C SVT is Really fun and fast to drive on the highway, but that's really it comparatively. Also it only really excels when you are already exceeding the speed limit. Fun yes, but not very smart nor very safe.

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
