RE: How much money have you spent on your Monte?
Monte was $19,000.
About $4500 in mods conservatively.
Maybe droping another $800 next week on a Gen V.
Just need to verify the owner will keep it for me.

How much? A whole lot less than I spent on my last three cars - 97 Aurora, 97Mark VIII LSC, and an 02 Mustang GT. The reason for this is that I'm satisfied (for the moment) with theSS just as it is - although I'mthinking seriously about a Diablo tuner.

Hypertech makes pretty much the same programmer and I think they are less expensive. I think I saw them for $299 at www.summitracing.com

Where'd you pickup a new GenV ? Lucky. :-p
I would be too depressed if I tallied up how much I've spent on my Monte.
I modded my engine before I blew it last fall, and I was somewhere between 8 to 10 thou. Since then, I dropped 1k on the engine, $250 for a valve job, $300 or so on IC core and LIM upgrade, and around $500 to $800 on tools to teardown and swap engines, like stand, hoist and jackstands, etc....
I'm over $10k now for sure, but well worth it considering my mod journey so far.
