Honestly, those can go as high as 15k or as low as 8k.

Depends on a lot of factors like Brand, type, and install. Do it yourself or shop install.

It can be done as low as 8 I'm guessing. But for good quality stuff, 15.

It's hard to say without more info.

Um, I have no idea...A LOT...couple questions?

1. Why dual intercoolers? A proper single one will be perfect.
2. You said "minor suspension mods"...More like MAJOR suspension mods to get the power to the wheels...

Not trying to rain your parade, just trying to realisically answer your question.

Good rule of thumb...if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it! LOL

Seriously, if you have never modified a car there are MANY questions you should ask before you decide to do it. There are many threads in the Forums discussing Mods by DIY (Do it Yourselfers) and some give price ideas. Start with the cheapest, easiest ones first so you can see the immediate change in the car. For example you could do the rims and in dash nav first, drive it awhile (save some more bucks) and plan out the suspension and brake stuff, do that (in preparation for more horsepower), drive it and see how you like it and then blow the rest of the wad on the #1 and #2. I think it is always wise to do your suspension and brake mods first, before you apply the power. Many folks have bumped their HP way up and not done a thing to the suspension and brakes only to find out...they can't stop or corner at the other end of the power scale and then end up in a ditch or worse. Just MHO.

this might sound ignorant but i used to own a 93 rx7 twin turbo, the motor blew up because of improper cooling. so i want to save my self the problem of having a rebuild like i had to do to the rx7. thats why i'm planning on putting dual intercoolers to make sure it runs cooler and i'm putting a BOV on it to combat turbo lag! but if i could achieve 600hp and 580 lb·ft naturally aspirated i would. except i might be taking a shot in the dark saying this but i bet that would require stroking the block out, intake, exhaust, high flowing cylinder heads, racing cam, racing pistons to get the car up to where i want it to be.


so far i found this.
nav unit-1300 used
strut grilles-4000

also im not trying to sound cocky but i have enough money saved up. also i was planning on buy some of my parts used to save money.

as for the suspension your right, i didnt think that through. i also forgot about beefing up the transmission. also im gonna try to cut at least 200lbs of the car because the camaros are none to have a fat booty(dont know if you will be kicked of for profanity) compared to the corvette. they are literally like Brazilian girls compared to white girls.

Twin turbo installed by a shop is about $11k (depends on which turbos you get plus any other upgrade parts).

Really nice 22" rims with tires will run you about $7k. You can probably go el cheapo for under $3k.

Suspension mods: drop springs and sway bars installed will run about $1100 or more.

Brakes: new rotors, brake lines, will run about $700 installed if you don't get super expensive rotors and stay with the stock size.

I didn't buy an in dash nav. I got a Garmin for $200.

I have no idea what strut grills cost.

Things would be a lot less if you can do it yourself.

+1

[camaro52010]

those strut grilles gold plated 4 grand NOT

[Luvpilot]

springs, swaybars, trailing arms, cluth or stall, axles, many, many rear tires and money for whatever will eventually break

[youngkim]

you'd prolly need a new cluth with those mods i think......

Yup.

I based my estimates on DIY all except the blower. Sounds like he's talking about dual coolers and only one turbo.

There's just too many variables to answer this question. lol

[KEEP RT]

what are the prices on every thing, then add them up that number will be the cost. It's simple really. Different dealers sell different stuff at different prices. You need to know what you want, be specific. Rims could be from $700 to $7,000.
