just wondering, because this is awesome.

sorry if you think its impolite to ask. You do have the right not to answer lol.
No problem. It is really getting hard to tell what all of this will cost. I'm footing some of the bill trying to figure out the issues, but future builders won't have to do that. Here's some ball park numbers for the parts (top of my head so don't hold me to this)

Forged Pistons -- $1,500
Custom Intake System -- $400-500
EFR Turbos -- $3,000 for two
Piping -- $300-400
Boost Controller -- $200
Wide Band -- $150
ZL1 Fuel Pump -- $260
Intercooler -- $800
Meth Kit -- $600

So, that's about $7,500 just for the parts. Then you have to get it all installed and have it tuned. If you want to put that power to the ground then there's all the suspension upgrades and better tires. If you have an auto then you'll probably want a torque converter and a new differential. You might be able to get everything you need to run low 11s in the 1/4, including labor, for somewhere between $15,000 and $18,000. That would make a 2LS, car included, around $40K.
