Who said my budget is $5000? I never said that!!

GTM sells a turn key TT kit for around $8000.00 but you have to install it yourself. I already have over $2500 in modifications that I installed the begining of last summer. I put on a Stillen CB, with matching HFCs so I am good on the exhaust piece to flow up to 500 rwhp. There will be some incidental costs involved in the installation but I will most likely roll with the tune that comes with the kit.

If you have a bone stock car and want it professionally done then YES; it will cost upwards of 13K to 14K.

BTW: Here is the link to "The Mythical $8000.00 TT Setup"

Werd. People want similar hp numbers as the TT, but for half the price and with stock-like reliability. Pretty unrealistic, IMO.

10K installed is very reasonable for the quality and performance capability of this kit. For a while AAM was offering thiers for $10500 installed as an introductory. I almost pulled the trigger on it last summer. I think I like the GTM kit better though.

Any way, we are getting off topic on this thread. I am very interested in seeing what Sam will pull on the supercharger. Especially when he starts testing stage 2 and 3. I would love to see it pull 450 rwhp. That is right where I want to be.
