There's a difference between adding engine horsepower and getting that power to the ground. If you want to become a track junkie, you will probably want $20K or so for as many upgrades as you can do plus another $5-10K for contingency (catastrophe). For most people first getting on a track, the stock hp is plenty to get your feet wet - you might start there first while you save funds. With some practice, you will eventually need upgraded suspension and other elements to make the most of your TT power. If you just want to go fast at the drag strip or just want that sexy BOV hiss, you could probably skip some of the ancillary upgrades and do TT for closer to $15K, though you will still want to keep $5-10K around just in case something goes wrong.
