Do you mean $1000? 1000k = 1 mil. That's a lot of something.

TC is probably the best BFTB in terms of off the line acceleration. The only problem is, the price installed will be over $1000. Rough prices would be $700-800 for the TC and $400-$600 for the install.

Oh, and you should install a tranny cooler as well which then adds to cost.

manj,

Yes it has been asked several times in the past (and even answered in a very straightforward manner ). All you have to do is search for it!!!!!!!

I even took your title wording 'bang for buck' and searched the GS forum and found these right away.
