those who have a turbo on their LS3...

if you don't mind my asking, how much did it set you back all said and done, everything included. I don't plan on doing this for at least a year so if the prices aren't outrageous. I'm just curious if it would be something worth saving up for or not. Also im in NJ so any sponsors anywhere nearby or not who would have quotes would be greatly appreciated! Merry Christmas!

What? Good luck finding a brand new Supercharger for 6 grand unless it's Cyber Monday or something.

I know if you get a polished blower (KB, Whipple, ect.) it can set you around 8.5k and that's without labor of install.

I see 6.5k installed all the time from the vendors here. A single turbo kit can be comparable price wise but when you get to twins a quality set installed runs 10K.

I did my turbonetics kit for 6k but did the install my self. I figure a shop would charge another 500 for install. A tune will run you 400 but if you want to keep it at around 515whp you dont need a tune.

IPS twin kit installed $9700. Although more expensive then the sc initially once you factor in the headers and cam needed to attain the same power they even out.

You're running enough boost for 515rwhp on the stock tune?

How did you manage that? Did you the install. Best price I've seen is 11-12 grand. But that is with some upgrades they offer. I really want that kit. 9700 would be easier to get past the account manager.
