There are several good retailers on here and my350Z.com (Forgedinternals.com, Avalon Racing, etc.) that have the kit at a decent price - definitely CALL them as you can usually get it lower than listed on their website. Browse vendor classifieds on the forums for specials.

Rough cost for the kit is under $5k. Plan on about $800-1000 for install labor and another $200 or so for dyno tune.

g8tor20, I assume that includes labor only for all other items.

my_Gthang, that reminds me that my install cost also included installation of 3 gauges (AEM wideband air/fuel, boost, and exhaust gas temp). The gauges cost extra. At a minimum I would suggest boost and wideband (AEM, Zeitronix, or similar).

That was my out the door price after purchasing the products listed and having them installed at CP Race. 7K was out the door...tax, title and tag.

i p/s'd the fmic in the front bump of .... my Gthang

its a harness that plugs into your stock ecu then the stock ecu plugs in the the harness and the other end gets connected to the ss box ... get it... good ... i think thats right ...

its better then cutting like 50 wires and then putting them back together w. connectors .... PLUG and PLAY basiclly ....
