I have probably $2500 into everything under the hood. I have a spreadsheet going, keeping track lol

(Includes supercharger kit, polished supercharger, headers, exhaust, intake, random paints for braces, etc., misc. bolts, custom intake lid, coils, wires, fuel rails, injectors, fluids, everything lol)

If you were interested in purchasing everything new you'd be looking at about $3000+.. I was furtunate to find some deals on the exhaust, intake, even headers. Saved about $500 on all of those, three of which were eBay finds as open box items, same for my coil packs.

Isn't it crazy totaling up everything you have spent?

I remember doing it once... :shiver:

I've polished everything myself except the supercharger. Just need a lot of sand paper and time.
