Nice little shopping list. Depending on the tune, I would guess it in the 600 range.
Don't forget to shoot some pics along the way. It's always fun to watch someone else burn $$$$.

Sure what the heck...

my answer was somewhat sarcastic. If his car is in the shop getting this stuff installed, he should ask his builder how to get more power - not a bunch of internet experts...

so, yeh, perhaps 20 lbs is a bit much for a FAST...
