What you may have gotten for a steal isn't representative of real world costs. Most guys don't work on cars themselves so $5k worth of parts and another $2k in labor, maybe, still isn't bad by comparison to what most 100 rwhp packages cost on the 5th gen ZL1 at its inception. Just from what's out there Jannetty, Lingenfelter, ADM, and other reputable shops 100 rwhp would run you somewhere in the ball park of 7k all said and done. Long gone are the days of crappy one-trick rockets that you hauled to the track with a spare carburetor and a mechanic just in case the thing detonated.
Get over yourself. It is you that needs to improve his comprehension skills. I understand and can "read" 5K in parts which is ridiculous for anyone other than a sucker. 5 grand for headers and a pulley, indeed Pal. At no point in my post do I suggest that an aftermarket S/C can be purchased new for $600. Go get 100 for your $7,000 and enjoy your bargain jack wad. No one needs your condescending BS Pal.
