well its not actually that expensive considering you can salvage almost everything from the junkyard and if you do it right you dont lose any mpgs...the guys who do lose mpgs are doin 12+ lbs boost...if you were to run 9-10 lbs boost on a inline 6 you could look at 500is ft-lbs torque and 250ish horse and like i said if you do it all the way by messin with the computer and intercooler and electric fan you probably wouldnt lose any mpgs your engine wont last as long but it will still last way longer than any dodge on the road hehehehe
