Costs of These Builds
Is there any reason why vendors cannot please include the costs of the materials and labour for the various builds they post? Perhaps below the list of upgrades/parts.
Or is there some privacy issue that prevents them from doing so? Surely I'm not the only person interested in knowing the prices (albeit approximate) of all of these various options. At least, can ballpark figures be provided? |

You'd probaly be better off with "US' answering what we paid for the builds..
I went SC with oil,and Trans coolers with tune ,labor to install, Spent $9600.

Thanks for the reply and information.
Maybe we can get other customers to post their costs here and tell us either what their mods were or which build threads they relate to. |

I can tell you that a BP twin scroll kit will run about $9,300 going from a bone stock Z to boosted/installed/tuned by a capable shop (oil cooler included in the price)
The price does not include an exhaust system purchase and install. There are other things to consider though, things like gauges (not included in any F.I kit), possible clutch upgrade, and tires to put the new power to the ground. |

A lot of the feature builds we post up here are more interesting than your average "cookie cutter" build and usually you won't see them replicated over and over again. Otherwise, it would get pretty old. We've built thousands of cars and not all of them get posted on the forums...just like not every car you see on the street ends up on the front cover of a magazine. Besides, we're not going to post up people's invoices...it's just not right.
All that said, we have a really full featured website with more options and packages you can shake a stick at. If you really want to know how much something costs, I invite you to check it out. Let me just walk you through on how to use our website. First, go to GTMPOWER.COM Then, enter your car information in the orange pane to the left. Next, select Power Packages and click the Search button to see installed and tuned packages. Here is an example of one of our GTM 500 Power Packages with our GTM Stage 1 Supercharger Kit and Oil Cooler, installation and tuning here at our facility. Then select "GTM Turnkey Packages" and click Search to see all of our parts only packages with our signature Turn-Key kits. Here is an example of our GTM Supercharger 1.5 Racer's Package. When you are looking at our products and want to know how much it costs to get it shipped to your doorstep (with the exception of Power Packages), you can use our website's shopping cart feature with integrated shipping calculator for shipping quotes. For our Power Packages, you'll need to contact us for details on how to get your car to and from our shop. We do work closely with a vehicle transport company and get very good rates that we pass on to our customers. Some of our customers choose to drop off their car and fly home until the build is completed while others do round trip vehicle transport. Whatever you feel more comfortable with or prefer to do, we can work with you to have a successful project from mild to wild. I hope that answers your question. |

Your right at the end of the day it was just that an out dated. Mustang but dam it sounded good lol. Anyway if I can get that twin supercharged kit from gtm I will have a very rare beast on my hands just waiting on gtm my motor will be completed this week and with 8.5 cr it's a boost friendly setup. And my goal is no more then 500 at the wheel anything more then that is just wrong for street use imo
