Well, the first time I tried to build my car I put about 4K into it. The second time about 2K and now Im on the third time and now Im doing it the right way and im going new motor, trans, rear, suspension, fuel, ignition, interior, body, paint, etc. I will be buying my motor in the next month or two so by that time so far I will have 13K. And its just a start. AND I WONDER WHY I DONT HAVE MONEY!!!

Flowtech Headers: $150
Mac H-pipe: $160
Flowtech Warlock Mufflers: $150
Tranny Built by Mace-O-Matic Transmissions in Belton: $1675 (includes improved torque converter and shift kit)
Ford Racing Injectors: $200
Autometer Oil/Water Gauges w/ Ford Racing pillar pod: $120
Faze Air Fuel ratio gauge with Sunpro Gauge holder: $60
Bendix OE brakes all around: $600

I paid $3500 for the car with a good interior and was completely stock though. I have about $7400 in parts for my car now and about $5000 or so to go into it to finish it. I have way to many mods to list but put it this way there is almost nothing left stock on this stock anymore. For list of mods click here

ORIGINAL: im_stuck_in_iraq

screw the srt4s ill stomp them...they are a ricer...dont go that way...please....lol
I have how much ever a K&N filter is, I believe like $45.00 and then my Mac o/r h-pipe which is $130.00 + taxes and $45.00 for mil eliminators.

im_stuck_in_iraq, with what kind of car you have and your mods, you will be about a whole second or more slower than one. So you wouldnt stomp them.
