[QUOTE="GodStang, post: 15700434, member: 11142"] You can not compare a Turbo/Centri Blower with Cams and a PD (eaton, Kenne Bell, Whipple) with cams. Two totally different things. Also not sure where you are getting your pricing but to take your stock heads and get the Stage III Port with a nice set of cams/springs you are looking at ~$4500 depending on options for just parts (Livernois, Fox Lake). labor is another $2K-$3K as the OP said he is not doing it himself. We will go with your estimate 75-100whp as for all that I would say looks correct. Using your $$$/HP formula you are looking at a more realistic range of $65-$100 per hp. Now if you get all the parts used and do it yourself then price will come down. Is that worth it to the OP? I don't know. Also selling a KB and buying basically the same size Whipple would net him next to nothing. It would also cost him about $1000 to buy new. unless he bought used not worth it. Trust me I just sold a polished KB 2.8L w/ less than 500 miles on it. I know what they go for. Again it is his money and his car but he needs realistic prices/options if he really wants to go this way. [/QUOTE]
