You are easily looking at $15K+ if you are having a shop do the work for you so prices include labor.....Between $4-6K for the forged motor, $7000 for the blower setup, $1500 for fuel system with upgraded pump and alky kit and you can certainly figure $1000 for misc. Whether or not your stock tranny can hold up?????.........Of course other supporting mods will cost more.

It will cost you about 20k plus but if you start with FI and safe tune look to spend 8-10

The prices posted are acuurate figures of what your looking to spend new. You should keep your eye on the parts section. I was able to get a great deal on my entire setup, blower and forged motor. Good luck.

The C5 parts for sale section. If you can't find an entire setup, you might be able to piece one together and save money.
