K&N drop in filter~$50
High flow cat~ $200
Steering wheel~ $50
ShortShifter~ $20

Total $2390

 

bought an 87 n/a that ran perfect and was in perfect shape for $1800. then i hit a cow(not joking) totaled it and bought a 88 n/a with a bad engine and just got done with putting the 87 engine in it for $500. Right now i only paid $500 because the owner of the cow had to pay for the cost .

 

well it seems the N/a guys have the "cheaper" cars, now all we need is a 0-60 chart on both turbo cars and N/a cars and we'll se who got more bang for thier bucks the N/a guys or the Turbo guys...... on average i'd say the N/a guys are saving $10k so far. I wonder how much faster the Turbo's are....(of course modded turbo vs. modeed N/a vs. price......)

 

thanks kmags! My fiancee says she doesn't care but you know when we get married that is all going to change, lol.
