your keeping ur stock tranny, gears, radiator, and drive shaft? Don't forget about lower control arms, mass air, throttle body and a 3 core radiator. And dyno time to get a good a/f. I say about 12k for a well setup car. I'm not pulling these numbers out of my ***, more of a been there done that.

My friend just built is his 2v with a 2.2kb + 150 shot of nitrous. Hes hoping for low 800 on the nitrous. Hes spent about 13k, with a viperspec t56.

Hoping and reality are 2 dif things my friend. If 800 hp was that cheap there would be a crap load of fast cars on the road. I can see this turning into a useless arguement. I can only say if you do it right, it isn't cheap. If you shortcut your parts list you'll end up paying for them anyways or even pay more. The stock fuel system on these cars doesn't support 400 hp. You need to replace your internal fuel pump, your injectors, add an additional external pump, new chip, mass air, throttle body. Add up the cost of just those parts. Your buddy doing 800 hp in no way has a stock bottom end. That right there is atleast 3k on a 2v. I'll stick with a strong bullet proof car that I don't cross my fingers and hope something doesn't break everytime I get on it vs. a car thats in the shop more than driven.
