Talk about me breaking things! LOL!!

Well, I went over the receipts from everything I bought to do this build.......

Valair kevlar/ceramic clutch
S366 turbo
6.0 IC
Intake
3" plenums
3.5" down pipe
T500 hpop
New chip with TW tunes
E-fuel
Gauges
IH water pump

....I think that's all of it. Anyway, I told some of you via text today what I came up with, but I recalculated what I had and I came up with a total build cost $2800. I'm sure there is a receipt or two for something that didn't get put in the box with the others, and maybe some small stuff I didn't have a receipt for, so to cover everything, I'm gonna say this build cost me $3000. I don't think that is too bad for what all I did to the truck

I think so too. It ended up being a little more than I had thought it would be, but still not bad.

I pulled it to mod the firewall and build my uppipes, turbo mount and resealed the whole engine. I changed every gasket and oring. The only gaskets I did change was the heads.
