Yeah, $800 brand new if you use a vendor core and pump, then use a rad instead of a FMHE.
Still stuck on fuel. Modded rails suck, cutting the rails is stupid, hello $500 for a billet set.
If you went heads, you could get away with stock rails for longer.
You're going to spend a grand on heads, or more. More if you want aftermarket valves and such. Don't suggest larger valves unless you're going with a cam. Even then, for a street car, do you really want to?
Then installing is fun, couple hundred in gaskets and fluids. At least it's straight forward though.
Not that an intercooler is any better. Pluming and mounting was not well thought out at all.
You can go either way, make some power, have some fun, still get stomped by anything with a better power adder.
Ya know?
