    I was looking in to doing a Top Swap on my 2005 GT, and i was wondering if anybody had an estimate of how much they cost? Thanks!

    Do some reading and you'll find out the real cost and headache of doing a top swap.

    Rough guess with a GEN V swap and everything, around $1,000 at least.

    Look around the For Sale Thread, you can find good deals sometimes. but yeah, (+/-)$1000 for everything.

    ^ XPZEED is selling the Supercharger with the TB and MAF that you would need, but you will need to get a pulley (has the modular piece, just no pulley) and you will have to find a LIM for it, and then get it tuned to boot.

    So truthfully you will probably spend around a grand unless you find a REALLY good deal.

    If your just looking to put a little more pep in your DD you could do a Gen 3 swap but you'll have to do some adaptions to get the throttle body to work and it won't make as much power as an M90

    Talk to this guy, he has EVERYTHING for a proper topswap for 700. Is about as good as you will get.

    1100 is proper IMO.

    950 is complete.

    700 needs heads.
