Nice! I like the OG wheels and the drop with the monster tucked away under the hood.

I would guess something like that would cost 3-9k depending on where you get your parts and who does the work...

The install didn't take long at all. Most of the delays came afterwards like not getting enough tech support from SRT in regards to the haltech install (that by itself took over a week ). Also we had to figure out on our own that the car wouldn't run right without the air flow meter connected. Fuel was another issue when I thought I would be able to run with the stock injectors, but the car was running lean at idle. Ordered and installed injectors and now the car was running rich. That's when we figured we needed a FPR. The install took some time but it was well worth it.

So its close to or just as expensive as a swap if not more expensive if your boosting a high mileage motor. I went the swap route but I had a had a v8.

Doing a swap plus going single would be much more than what I've spent so far. My setup is easily capable of 500 whp but we know the stock tranny can't handle that.

Looks like you guys had fun. Very soon, I'm going to be attempting a NA-T build that is 100% stock like(stock airbox and exhaust!) and will pass emissions

Yes if you are already 300, Na-T is the way to go you made the right choice.
I was GTE but went back to Na-T/Standalone and never looked back

I bought my Turbo from MO at SRT also, i was going with the 6265 but it ended up being on back order for 6 weeks so i upgraded to 6765s, and am loving it everyday.
The power band , and spools is just amazing.

That would be kinda cool. I'd like to see that. It would be the ultimate sleeper.
