May be able to find a deal though. Assuming you do the labor yourself. Thats about $15k for all new. $12k if your patient enough to find some smoking deals on engine and trans.

Not knowing how much was actually spent on this swap, I have yet to come across someone that didn't exceed their budget/figure.

Swaps like these nickle and dime you like crazy. Stuff that's unexpected is what gets you. Budget for $25k for sure if you want to do this swap and do it right.

Gotta remember this swap doesn't include clutch, gauges, fluids, brakes, and a bunch of other misc parts. It all adds up.

Why would you need new brakes and gauges? You're not added enough weight to necessitate increased braking power and the whole point of canbus wiring is to be able to use the stock electrics and gauges. I understand clutch and fluids.

Might need a little extra stopping power going from 200hp to 525.

Just sayin'

Can't give a decent account as far as handling till a front sway bar/stiffer springs......right now over steering is very easy....and not by over use of throttle.....but that's always an option.

in case the sway bar and springs dont work, do you think it might be your diff?

No, everything is fine with the diff. What would make you think that?

depending on how the clutches are setup, your accel or decel settings might contribute to it.

So the package comes with a custom driveshaft to hook up to the old diff. I wonder how long the stock diff will last.

Will/have the suspension spring rates change/d?

Stock differential has proven to be stout....on even higher HP/torque number cars than mine.....shouldn't be an issue. Axles are another story, but I already have that covered.

So do you have the car back now? Is it complete?
