RUSSJZ-ZED Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 You seem to be budgeting for what you don't need. If you are building a fast daily driver, you don't need a Le Mans/ Daytona setup. You don't need a cheap paint job, It looks like you have an expensive one already. (nice car) If there are no hiccups with fuel delivery to your existing injected engine, touch nothing, leave it alone . It works, don't fix it. Fit your Chevvy, then find out what you might need. (then try a Bosch motorsport pump if it's thirsty. Perhaps add a swirl pot to your tank.) $500-$1K for cold air ? Cold air will be at the front , inexpensive ducting/ alloy piping will get it from there to the throttle body for under $100. I've used ebay alloy radiators for 20 years, $200 tops, never had problems,(don't knock Chinese imports- you are probably reading this on a Chinese built computer) BUT- if you live in the desert, copper is a better conductor, heavier, but more efficient. That's a start. If you are not in the "Mines bigger than yours" game, you won't have to spend a fortune to build a WhooHoo.!! fun car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
