    Default The REAL cost of Forced Induction -- NOT for the faint of heart

    Admittedly, this is an all out build, but I just want to show how quickly this stuff can add up. If you'll notice, items on this sheet date back to 2005, as that's when I initially started mapping out and creating the build that's finally moving towards it's end. I'm not rich by any means, hence why it took so damn long to get as far as I have. Anywho......just have a look and notice how fast it added up, and realize that I've got another pretty hefty amount to invest still (at least $3K).

    Anywho, here's where I'm at and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things:

    That $9k was the short and rotating assembly and a whole host ot other stuff too. It wasn't just the shortblock and assembly. Other included stuff was the ATI Superdampner, Fast Track XFI harness, Morel Lifters, copper head gaskets, o-ringing of the block, oil pump, Milodon Pan, ect.

    You can't call all of that forced induction though. EGR/Airblockoff's went on my Header Install Spread Sheet.

    Only things I'd consider "forced induction" is the lower end (forged internals, low compression pistons, etc.) and anything related to the forced induction (tubro, bov, downpipe, intercooler, alcohol injection, etc.)

    I had ~20k into my project (turbo 383ci 95z28) before I sold it due to divorce.
    96 TA WS6 - 383ci + T76 = no traction
