30k in the 5.0 stroker motor, ask go-on3 what go fast parts cost....
I'll help you.....
Built transmission3k
torque convertor 1k
drive shaft 1k
built rear end 3k
rear suspension 2k
Wilwood brakes 4k
custom interior 3k
Fiberglass hood 2k
1 off carbon fiber stuff - lots -o-$$
1 off custom parts, more lots -o- $$$
Gauges, audio, fuel system, exhaust and lots of other custom stuff not even added in.
This is a 500+ rwhp car that can be driven to California and not break down, and, there aren't 6 on every corner, like a Camaro, Mustang, Charger/Challenger etc.
It adds up quick, it's not a truck that I was adding some lights, steps and a cap to, it's sole purpose is/was to embarrass expensive exotics, it was a success....

I was just guessing based off my credit card balance but in reality I haven't added it up but wouldn't be surprised if its actually over $20k. My wife thinks its only around $5k....sshh.

You are going to love the ICONS. Takes a month or so for the springs to settle in and soften up.

RC Lift $800
34" Tires $1,500
Tonneau Cover $800
Total $3,100
Only other mod I'm considering is a small light bar mounted to the bumper with a pair of Aux lights.

Definitely worth it. Biggest pluses for me were the instant throttle response and improved shift strategy. The trans no longer tries to get to 6th gear as quick as possible and down shifts a lot quicker when you hit the gas like when passing someone. Have had mine for a little over a year, 16k miles.
