Turbo gentlmen

[urmyboyblue]

Thinking thru the turbo idea from a financial stand point with an LSX 376:

LSX376 B8 from Jegs, $5600
cam kit with springs: $700 not including labor to install
turbos (Precision): $2300
fab inlet side: $1500 estimated
EFI: $2000 - this is an under estimation- a Holley Dominator EFI and harness is about this price without the sensors
Intercooler: $750
Headers: $1500- better go stainless if you want it to live, will require custom plumbing
Intake for an LSX: $600
Injectors: $300+
This doesn't include throttle body, ignition, blow off valve, waste gates and controller and dressing out the LSX with the accessories. Total price so far: $15250. This idea will probably set you back around $20K+.

Granted there are several ways you can achieve most any power level you want. If you want turbos then go turbos. They sure look good when the install is done nice and can generate some great power. Plus they are more adjustable than any other power adder. The down side is the excess heat generated requires more radiator and the hot side cracks over time. It just seems like a lot of work and money for something you just want to putt around in and look at and not use to its potential.
