25-30K A properly built high powered NA car is just as expensive as a blower or turbo car.
The reason I did do NOT do MSD manifold is that you lose some LOW to MID RANGE power compared to LT2 manifold. You DO pick up some power in the upper ranges, probably 15 or so HP. Since the car is a daily driver as well I DID NOT want to sacrifice any low to mid range drivability though.
The CAM selection took into consideration that I DID NOT want to use a higher stall torque convertor which inherently will have some slippages in the lower RPM ranges.
The engine was fired up and the car was test driven today with some breakin miles. Tomorrow it goes on the dyno for tuning, I will post up video when that happens.
