not hard at all to get a 12v to keep up with a stock CR. I was keeping up with them many mods ago, now im running circles around them lol, but serioulsy,
Ground plate=$0 I don't even have a plate at the moment (tuned afc)
GSK=$0-$225 There is a free washer mod
BHAF or Intake $60-$225
Exhaust 4"kit -$300
Guages at least a pyro $150-300ish w/Boost and trans temp
Retroque Headbolts= Just your time
Advace Time=$150ish for shop or ya got tools?
Trans Upgrades=The sky's the limit man is cheaper than auto to build but will always be slower. Alot of 550auto trucks will out run 650man trucks drag racin

Whe I had a #6plate, 4"exhaust, and a lockup swithc and bhaf I was running side by side a few local 06 model trucks
