Just over $5000. That's everything from the fuel pump to the MAF.

Wow great idea for the poll man, this will be really intresting to see wat everyone has done and the time/effort/cash that goes along with a fly ride...

Money spent on my car: 7 minutes of labor (by myself) to remove the air silencer lol

Above 7,000, whoa it sounds bad when you say it like that. I wasn't sure how much I spent, but my wife knew to the cent. I had to ask her.

Im right at 5K in my carbed 306. I did not do the machine work but I did everything else.
It would really be more than that but I got smokin' deals on the Vic Jr intake and the Canton oil pan. Bought 'used but never installed. Barry grant 650 race demon was given to me by a friend.
Bassani step headers came with the car.
I won't go into the whole list of mods but I'm using a smallish solid roller and TFS heads with a little work on them.
Made 428 HP on engine dyno.
Doing chassis work on car now, hope to make test runs late next month.......
