where did i say ALL of that is 7k...??? just the turbo kit is 7k. Do research and you will see that the Trans Am is alot Easier to maintain... As long as you beef up all the components needed as supporting mods.. also check out speedinc.

This 98-02 LS1 F-body Turbo Tuner kit is capable of 800RWHP/800RWTQ with a forged 346"+ displacement engine, 6 speed trans, proper fuel system, 60# injectors, stock PCM, and 100 octane fuel. Set your boost at a lower level with the supplied Innovative controller, and run on 93 octane (We made 675RWHP@10psi) <---soo..... i paid more money to get my car to 500whp when i can pay less and have it make more.

compare the gas mileage.....

my LT4 was getting 4.5mpg.......fully built. and I kept blowing out rearends...even Moser's.

I'm getting to the point in my life where going fast is not always economical....V6's will always get better gas mileage than a V8.

not to pick on you specifically, but it certainly looks like he's made up his mind. at this point, it's not gonna do any good to try and talk him out of it. --- just start going over what he's demodding, and BUY PARTS!!!!



and at least, if down the line, he breaks stuff, you can say 'told you so"

heh. good luck shaun

Easier to maintain after you put a 1200 dollar clutch, different rear end, forged motor, and never drive it hard. After you pass 500whp nothing is easy to maintain so im not sure where you got that from. Im guessing you will end up spending 12+k to get anywhere near 800rwhp. Are you getting a t56 or 4l60? Im sure by the time your done you will have spent more money making the power in the t/a than you did in the prix and it wont be any more reliable.

dont worry, I am doing plenty of that!!
