Cam (used): $180
Yellow springs: $40
4.11 gears + Truetrac: $625
Gear install: $70 (living in Mexico isn't that bad sometimes!!!)
Thorleys: $500
Blackbear tune: $300
2nd PCM for tune: $100

I installed the cam & springs so I saved like $100 lol, it was easier to pay someone but I just wanted to learn how to do it.

So I have spent like $1800-1900 but that's going to change soon as I see a 6.0 swap & Circle D converter in my future

im well over what i posted on page 8, i dont even think about how much money i spend on my truck anymore. as long as it makes me happy i will continue to throw money at it to keep it running/make it faster/make it look better and not think twice about how much i have invested in it

I have alot of money in my truck. Has to be around 15,000 -17,000 now if not more. I bought the truck cash for 8,000.
Forged 370
heads and cam
tune
headers & exhaust
All the regular bolt ons
Flt level 5 4L65E
3000 yank
detriot tru trac
4.10's
hardend axles
rims, tires
sound system
4-6 drop
rear bags and cal tracs

Wow i have a lot of money in the truck . I did the engine ,trans, and rear all at the same time it cost me 12000 all at once. Plus I saved alot of money by doing all the work myself. Now I am thinking about getting rid of the truck cause it is too small for the family. I either want a tahoe or yukon.

hmm lemme see

engine (soon to come) probably about 10-12k
new hood (soon to come) - 700 + paint
Paint - 9000
front end - 5000
miscellaneous body work (roll pan, etc) - 2000
Wheels - 4000
front tires - 500
back tires - 700
suspension - don't remember how much a DJM 4/6 costs i'll say 1000
stereo & other electronics - 900
alarm and remote start - 500

so, about 23,600 at the moment. about 35k when i'm done
i agree this thread is depressing. i could have bought my g37 by the time i'm finished.
