Very nice. I like seeing that with a turbo setup. I'm just not thrilled about a blower setup. What would the turbo setup run?

anybody can make a race car fast but few can make a street car fast, it takes ***** to do so. Most of the fast vettes here that is into the 8"s are race cars, men like Mike Rumain, Arun and yourself are the few who actually took a street car and get it into the 8"s without taking out the power steering, AC, traction controll, air bags and many other reliable needed things for the street.
Lets see some more street cars into the 8's and that will be sweet.

Very impressive numbers and a great looking setup. I'd really like to know what a kit like this would cost installed.

Its very hard to put a price on a kit like this. In most cases like this i just prefer the customer to trust me that i wont rip them off and give them the best deal i can. Parts add up fast and its hard to know exactly what you need on a build like this. If i was to guess for the kit it self i would say in the 16-20k dollar range but its really hard to say.

16-20k just for the turbo kit? Or are you talking motor and turbo kit?

Just the turbo kit. You have to remember the turbo it self is around 3k, Boost controller 1k, Waste gate 700, twin Blow off valves 1k. Thats about 6k right there. Let alone the HOURSSSSSSS that it takes to fab something like this up.

You're leaving off the headers/manifolds, IC, all of the plumbing, etc. Folks that haven't done an FI build can't really appreciate what all goes into it - especially at a mid 8 second power level.

I can totally believe it. Same with my line of work (non auto). There are certain types of jobs that I turn away because I know I could never bill enough to justify the time/aggravation.

With the car stuff though I'd imagine there is a bit of excitement and personal satisfaction in building something this nice/fast.
