Also parts > to make my car faster is insanely expensive as I’ve said over and over before, Cams = $3k+ cams for ls1 = $500, pistons for my car = $2k+, pistons for ls1 $400-700? Supercharger for my car $8k MINIMUM, ls1 = $3k… I originally wanted to swap an e39 m5 motor into it but tghe motor itself is around $8k and it takes MORE modification to fit That motor in then the ls1… In fact my mechanic told me today they make a kit for it with custom engine mounts and all… > > Someone said its such a waiste of money to swap a perfectly good motor out as if im throwing it away or something? lol… I will probably sell my stock 540 motor for MORE then im buying the ls1 motor for, how is that a waiste? lol… Cant say that I have the skills to swap my own motor out, but I have a brain and know how to build a cost effective swap.

Magnacharger is around the 7100 range, $500 will get you a cam, and only a cam.

I think your pricing is a little off… A procharger “tuner kit” which is a universal kit is 5500-5700 for one. A maggie kit is 6000 A cam kit would be cam ($395), pushrods($120), valvesprings($255), couple seals and bolts ($75) and even adding a timing chain ($50) and GMPP pump ($100) your at $995 Labor and dyno tune should only be $750-800 And what the heck are rods and pistons needed for? a typical cam or a typical blower setup wont push the limits of the shortblock especially in a lighter car but what do i know… :tongue > [@So lets say you didn't pay your cable bill...](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-lets-say-you-didnt-pay-your-cable-bill/37283/13): > > pretty much what you estimate its going to cost, double it.
