In the case of the Needswings Manifolds….expect to pay a $500 hundred more today. I think it is amazing that for roughly $1888 in parts, you only pick up .0292 in the ¼ and 1.69 mph. This is not including tax, shipping and LABOR!!! You gotta pay to join this elusive 11 second club!!! Has anyone done it for less??
(NeedsWings Intake) $450
(NeedsWings Intake Manifolds)$999
(ASP 178mm pulley) $900
(LET Custom Tune) $500
(LET Heat Exchanger) $339
(LET Phenolic Spacers) $99
(Johnson IC Pump) $150
11.979 @ 114.89 = $3,437
(NeedsWings Intake) $450
(Code 3 Pulley) $599
(Inmotion Tune) $500
12.271@113.20 =$1,549
$1888 for .0292 and 1.69 mph
That is not entirely accurate. To run an 11 sec pass you do not need a IC pump, LET HE, or the spacers.....So X those from the list and you get.....
Needswings Intake - $450
Needswings Mani's - $1190
ASP 178mm pulley - $900
LET Custom Tune - $500
Total Price
= $3,040
That is what I spent to run my time. Could you do it cheaper? Maybe. I don't know. I am happy with all of my purchases so far. No complaints. And believe me, there is more to be had in my setup the way it stands now. I just have to get it to the dyno so Jerry can get the numbers and fine tune it.
