More like $1200. Look it up, there are plenty of 6.0 Powerstroke diesels running in the 13s with ONLY an exhaust and tune. If you want to factor in the cost of making the truck reliable with that power. Boost the cost up another $1200 for head studs, that the cost of the studs + labor. When you're all said and done, $2400 you can have a 6.0 Powerstroke running the same time as a Z. Personally I think thats pretty impressive for a 7,000Lbs. truck
