Including the cams, the 8 throttle body setup would run around $4,000 NZD which is equal to approx. $2,800 USD. However, I believe a stand-alone electronic control system would also be needed which I assume is why they reference the Link system on their site. Also, I would not use their uni-filters, instead I would have a trick air distribution plenum fabricated out of aluminium to avoid sucking in underhood air. Of course you would also need to add shipping and possibly install charges to the above.

Well don't feel too bad about it because the Camshaft Shop told me their cams would only add 15-30 hp on my 1994 1UZ-FE. At $1,500 for the cams + labor, I figured the HP/cost ratio was not good.
