Thats nothing man.... I prob wasted that much testing different intakes, pulleys, and exhaust setups back in the day.

You will be impressed with the power from the ported head and cams. It's worth it!

x2.... Even with all the money I wasted on silly cold air intakes, pulleys, and exhaust setups ontop of my cylinder head build and H62, I'm no where close to 15k.

Prob not even 10k.

Edit: Just did a quick calc.... I spent roughly 7k total on all the mods currently on my car.

That includes all suspension mods, brakes, wheels and tires.
