Its going to be a big deal for me, to see people actually realize that you dont need the expensive aluminum heads... like trick flow.... you can make the same, if not better power with used parts... which is what im going to be doing.
stay tuned.

Save up some more money and be patient. I am currently getting all my ducks in a row for a "Documented budget build" im going to completely document, step by step, what i am doing to my car. and im aiming for 300rwhp for less than $2000. im hoping to stay under $1800.

$500 on gears???

Start gears, thatll be around 500, then spend the other 500 on suspension. In the spring, finish the suspension, the do headers and HCI swap.

3.90's - $165
FRPP Install Kit - $130
Speedo Gear - $25
RP Gear Oil - $40
Install - $325 (BEST price around me too)
TA Girdle Cover - $130
Now, yes the girdle cover was unnecessary but I needed to run it. But still, knock off the 130 and its still $685.

RE: Thanks
yea it all depends on what brand, how far into it you get, and such, not everyone realizes you need an install kit, oil, and many time a trak lok rebuild... and you might as well do it all once and do it right... cause the smell of gear oil isn't something i'd want in my garage year round...lol

RE: Thanks
And that $815 was not including a rebuild either. The kit is like $50 shipped and plus another $150 to intall it. It would of ended up being a $1000 dollar job on the rear alone. People think that they can get their whole rear done for like $300 dollars...
