17x9 black cobra r wheels
trickflow intake

3000 stall
.........and thats about it...

Do the math by figureing $500 for each that will give you a gain.

Intake $500
Gears after install $500
Shocks/ Struts $500
Upper and lower control arms $500
Stall converter and shift kit I wouldnt think run you to much more than $600

Add it all up and what do ya got??? any guesses? $2600

Of course those are very rough estimates, some might be more, and some I know are less.

I sold mine....and I miss it all the time! If you use your dirtbike a lot, I wouldnt sell it, and keep the mods for your car small or one at a time. Yes its great to just dump it all on at once and feel a huge gain, but come on, there isnt too many people that can just go out and throw $13,000 in there car at once. You might say thats a lot, but trust me it adds very fast!!

since you have the bucks to get the full Trick Flow top end kit with heads, cam and intake i would get that. $2,200
its going to give you the most "kick in the pants" and hard to come up with the big bucks later for the heads and cam
install some gears for another $500.


the other stuff you can piece together when you have an extra $200 here or there.
