what do you mean it cost more than a brand new one? Are you asking why buy this kit when you can get a kit from another company for the same price?

if you are looking for overall HP, meaning your car lags and then at 7k rpm the 600hp kicks in. Then yes by all means purchase a compeditors kit.

but if you want power through out your whole power band, then i think HKS is one of the few companies that can provide this.

and for an HKS kit my price is very fair, because if HKS ever releases the kit for the 370 it will most likely only be a set up kit. Set up kits only include the basics. 350Z GT-RS set up kit retails for $7555

turbos
manifolds
downpipe
and oil return system

you would still have to have someone fabricate all the intercooler piping
make oil return lines
purchase intercooler (HKS ones start at about 1K), filters, etc....

so if you wanted to go full HKS on in the future with your 370Z im guessing you will probably spend about 13K.

so I think my asking price of 7K is fair considering HKS made everything.
