Total: $727 before tax/shipping

That is cost for EVERY single item you need to put a Vortech S, SQ, or T trim on your 2000-2004 Mustang GT. Only thing left to buy is the head unit. They are fairly easy to find if you search Ebay, SVTperformance.com, or Corral.net . A used S-trim sells between $400-800 depending on assumed mileage and condition. I bought mine for $700 with discharge pipe and intake. If you want a new head unit they cost $1849 for a brand new satin V-1 s-trim. A used head unit WILL be alot cheaper and perform just as well. Even if the unit needs a rebuild, the cost is about $350 from vortech or you can find some performance shops that can do it for around $100. Mine was in great condition when I picked it up from a guy on Ebay. Even bieng a 6 year old head unit it had no shaft play and seems to be in perfect condition.

If you find a head unit for $600, add the cost of the hardware ($727) and this comes out to $1327 for a COMPLETE vortech s-trim setup every part new but the head unit and fuel injectors. Even if you paid say $800 it would just come out to $1527 before tax and shipping.

Install takes a full days work to get it done right. Anyone with general knowledge of removing and installing bolts on the front of the timing cover, removing the belt, using a pipe tap, and swapping non-pressed pullies can perform this install.

Heres the install manual: http://www.vortecheng.com/pdf/manuals/4FH4FL218im.pdf

I got my kit done for about $2000 installed and tuned, but could have been alot cheaper if I had someone lead me in the right direction.

If you plan to do this Ill GIVE you my old vortech intake along with the 80mm MAF bracket.

just know that you can find used fuel injectors and MAF for cheap. I found a new L maf for $75 and the fuel injectors cost me $100.....

You've got this on your car without a secondary fuel pump, or bigger injectors, or a tune and you drive it three or four times a week? [&:]Not very good methinks.. Depends on what boost you wanna push, but know that taking the crap cast internals much past 400RWHP would be baaaadddd... Depends on how you drive it with that much power, but it won't last long. Just stay under 400 to the wheels and you should be pretty safe methinks..I'd say you need an in-tank fuel pumpand42# injectors if you don't already have them and a good tune..
