I haven't spent that much money at all on my car. I bought the supercharger for $2000 with only 100 miles on it because the guy found out he had cancer and needed the money.. It costs 5600 brand new.. I had my fun with it and beat a few vettes, ss's, z28 etc.... I managed to get the same turbo kit for 4000 that the guy in the video has. Not bad knowing that I am selling my vortech kit for 3500 and have a buyer already.. So all in all i am only spending 500 for the whole kit! Now the fully built engine and ported and polished head is only costing me 2800 bucks.. And that money came from selling my system for 1600 when i only paid 800 from a family member. I also sold some parts that i had laying around that i got for free and made 700 bucks. here is the pic of the system i sold.


So all in all here is the total that came out of my pocket.
* $1300 bucks for fully built motor and head.
* $2500 bucks for whole turbo kit!
Total = $3800 for a 500 horsepower 4 cylinder that gets better gas mileage than a v8, cost less than a car with a v8, and is extremely fun in the twisties.. Thats the reason i went along and did it. Make sense?
