I actually figured this up a couple days ago...
~$6696 in the motor and engine management
-$5000 for Street Flight turbo kit
~$2750 in drivetrain modifications
----------------------------------
$14,446 in engine and drivetrain 
geez, thats not even including aesthetic mods, wheels and tires, stereo, or suspension.

Are both of you guys using a dyno tuned chip. Burrita you paid $700 for a quaife  . I hope that was a typo, unless you bought it 2 years ago. You guys are crazy. I will have most of the same mods when finished(probaly a year) and will have probaly spent half as much. Pays to catch good deals, and be able to do some stuff yourself. Either way hope both of ya make it to spring zing....running

Well I'm in high school and the only money from my job that I spend is on the car,,, insurance, gas, and mods. Now I have to save for college, so car funds are drying up... just gonna do some things I need to do to get in running good for college,,, struts, maintenance, exhaust, and a couple other things so I won't be bothered during college not being able to work on the car much.

ive caught plenty of deals. Ive just cut no corners and gotten just about everything i need to keep this thing together.
Quaife $491 vs $595
pauter rods for $950 vs $1026 + shipping
Ross Racing pistons $780 vs $900 original price tag
Street Flight kit for $5000 instead of the now $5500 upgraded kit
Fidanza $350 vs $400
Apexi AVCR boost controller $350 vs $400+
Warmongers 80mm MAF $300 shipped vs $400
SVT dual honed UIM, TB, and all accessorys $507 vs $1015
Not to shabby i think. 
And livinsvt, yes i am running a dyno tuned chip. In fact, Im running the same program as Tom because I bought his MAF off of him and they spent countless hours tuning his car to get it right. However, because Im running a lower compression things might need to be changed a bit. Keyser has talked about flying down to Detroit MI and tuning Stazi and my car.

I wouldn't say you cut the corners in the least  . Thats good you found some deals. That would be a good time to have a meet and watch both of your cars get tuned.
