What are you waitin for??? lol its def worth the investment

**ecld_07** · 08-10-2011 09:28 AM

It would cost as much to swap everything on the truck for FI as it would to buy the kit lol

**chvy=power** · 08-10-2011 10:22 AM

i have less than 3k in everything...its cheaper to piece together your own kit. here is a break down of what i have invested in parts for the build- $600 for turbo, $100 for intercooler, $175 for cold side piping, $400 for injectors, $1000 for hot side parts, $100 for BOV, $125 for wastegate, $50 for 2 bar map, $100 for credits to upgrade to 2 bar operating system in pcm, $50 for oil feed and return lines, and then another $100 for misc fittings and odds n ends

That's not bad at all. But I'd need gears, lower stall, cam, and drop compression a ton, I run square port heads so can't just toss 317s on it. Maybe a winter project.

Why why and why? High stall is fun with boost, tall gears are ok (not great). Yeah cam might make a difference, but what compression are you?
