You should be able to gen 3 topswap for around $500.
This^ GT's are slow. Ask me how i know.
agreed.
Costs so much more.
So much in fact, you MIGHT as well start with heads and a cam in there because you'll want to do it later.
Then you'll need a transmission.
having fun yet?
At the very least, heads rebuilt ($300), headers (300-600) on top of your 500...
Tune? 100-250.
Aeroforce and wideband? $400.
