$5000-$10,000 category…but just barely. I think i get the award for most money thrown into a car that still runs barely better than stock times, if even better at all :lol: ---

Just to make some of u guys feel better… _ **$2000** in short blocks_…I had one short block rebuilt by Jan-Cen with ARP main studs and rod bolts. But, kept the stock hyperu. pistons. Lean cond. took out 3 pistons on that $1000+/- shortblock. Then I used a stocker, thought I had the lean cond. fixed…nope. Got another stocker…and its still together. _ **$1349** in camshafts_…since the GM Series II engine was still evolving (mod wise) There was a mild cam dubbed the VS cam _$275_ that came out first. Then this big lopey cam that sounded cool, but had enough overlap to really shit up my intake dubbed the Intense Stg. 3 _$299_. Then the current cam dubbed the XPZ cam $450 since it requires custom length pushrods E/I. But I killed it (pushed the “key” over half way around the cam when engine seized) with my last engine destruction, bought a new one. Only had to spend _$275_ since I had the pushrods. Well, actually throw another _$50_ since I needed 6 Exh. pushrods…all were bent. _ **$3099** in heads_…First pair I bought were a ~supposedly CNC P/P’ed with stainless valves/oversized valves. Had to use friggen Lead Subst. They def. flowed but, I bought them used and were quite abused and were on barrowed time. Purchased a pr of new heads for $1599 best things out…well, now there’s talk of some aluminum, CNC castings coming out…DAMN IT! _ **$800** into W/A Intercooler_…Bought this sweet mods and it DEF. made a big difference. I changed the front mount rad. a few times (kept buying bigger and bigger rads.) and now adding a resv. _ **$750** for headers_…SLP made headers…not much else to say…lol _ **$3900** ZZP Transmission_…4340 input/outputs shafts, 2750 stall, 3.29 gears (new chain) Extreme Duty Clutches/bands…evvvverything u can think of. _ **$350** DHP PowrTuner_…PCM scanner/writer _ **ALOT** of money on gaskets!_ _$50 Intake Manifold gasket set_ _$160 Cometic Head Gaskets_ _$10-$15 Supercharger Gaskets_ Could have saved myself some money if I would have found out the “lean condition” problem early on. It ended up being rust in the tank = fuel pump getting clogged = fuel filter getting clogged = inj = ect. There’s ALOT of stuff I left out, I spent alot on new lowering springs, brakes, ect. Gotta lover this addiction I eerrr mean hobby. :smash2: ---

Since he had the pretty much the same setup (cam, IC)with a few exceptions…on paper I should be in the 11’s like him. But, I never got to the track. I’ve ran Sherm and stayed even for 3 runs. So, wont know till I eventually get to the track or a dyno. ---

ZZP has proven to have one of the best if not the best trans out there for us w-body guys. Plus that price includes $350 for trq converter and $500 core charge since Shawn never sent his old one back. ---

Just to add…If I could do it all over again…I would have saved ALOT of money. I would have bought the 2nd pr. of heads in the first place, would have made 100% sure the fuel system was clean. Would of saved alot of money…but, I guess I got alot of experience…lol ---

LOL…we should start a thread about how much $ you lost when sold. I had over 20k invested and I dont regret it because I felt like a charitable organization when I sold it for what I did and I sleep happy at night with good feelings of giving. 😛 ---
