I only spent about $1500 for everything to properly install and monitor the eaton swap, it's actually the easiest FI install I have ever done. It takes about 3 hours start to finish. There is a kit available for $2800, and you have to add a boost gauge and tuner of course.
The car has full bolt ons and made about 200rwhp and 220rwtq in N/A form, I can;t remember exactly what it made on the dyno after the eaton, somewhere in the neighborhood of 290rwtq, but it was 105* in the shop and my IAT's were at 170* with only 7 1/2psi. I took Tim for a ride in last night and it was cold as hell so my IAT's were in the 120* range so it was running great. I'm adding water meth to help keep it cool and add some more timing and I should be able to get close to 330rwtq.
The next mod for my baby after that is a forged rotating assembly, race-prepped and balanced, Stage 3 heads and a set of twins which will hopefully put me in the 650hp range. So when me and Tim have our cars done, it'll definately be a damn good race.

To not take the radiator out, would honestly be pointless, you have to drain everything anyway, and it's just a couple of bolts and you don;t have to worry about knicking the radiator or anything, also make removing the power steering pump pulley and a few other things a lot easier.

God I want a ride in that thing when it's done... Ryan your car's looking sick as always. If you don't remember I'm the guy that was talking with you for a little while over by Matt's TT beast at the BR meet a few weeks ago.
