    Give it to me!

    Seriously now, what has been done to the car already? If it's stock i'd say bolt-ons/exhast/rear end would take a nice chunk of that. You wouldn't have enough left for a S/C or turbo. You could take what is left and spray it and add some slicks and tuning. Aren't the S/C kits about 4k? The turbo kits were stupid high last time i checked. You would probably spend 2k on the rear alone. Not to mention exhaust and bolt-ons and tuning. And you can't forget having money to fixed whatever get's fucked up.

    ok, that's all not installed. i guess realistically 6k would get you a nice suspension set up and drags. and a rebuilt top-end [heads/cam/valvetrain] and depending on what's left possibly a stall or clutch?

    There is no way you are going to get forged internals and a blower for 6k.

    Don't worry too much on price. I can afford to go a few hundred $ over 6 grand. I just would like to just stay in this price range.

    The engine retails for 13K and fitting a dry sump into a F Body isnt exactly easy.

    ProCharger set up with Mac headers & Mac Y-pipe should get you over 425 rwhp pretty easy. You'd definitely have to install it all yourself and then pay "x" amount to get it tuned right. Price = $7,000 approx.

    Ain't it the truth... I got $5000 when i was 19 and immediately went shopping.. paid off 1 credit card... new exhaust, rims, tires, suspension stuff and some other crap... Now that I'm a little older and wiser, I'd bank it.
