It's pretty cool you had the patience to wait for good deals on your stuff. And it seems you saved a lot too. But did you stress a lot about wondering if the used part you ordered was good and that you weren't getting ripped off. Oh and nice sleeper.

Funny post...I'm sure most people are afraid to say what They've spent on their car.
As of now I'm...
$12,500 for car (3 years ago)
$3,000 for vortech
$675 for SCT tuner and dyno tune
Would like to get a throttle body and power pipe come next summer.
You did exceptionally well with your car purchase...and everything else for that matter.

Well, most of the stuff i was pretty careful on buying. The trader rating system on corral is great. The supercharger I bought from someone within 3 hours of me so I went to pick it up. I bought it in june just because I found what I wanted within a couple hours of me... but i knew I couldnt install it till september. (It was hell waiting!)

If you know your HP/TQ rating... you should post that at the bottom too. That way others can see what kind of money they'll spend to get the numbers that they want.... just an idea.
