after doing the math
Crawford Headers = 980
Crawford HFC = 500
HKS Exhaust = 1400
Iso thermal spacer = 300
Modified lower plenum (Mrev+) = 140 (has been dynoed to help non-revup motor)
UTEC/Tune = 1400+
Install will be around $1000+ for headers/HFC/Exhaust (MREV/Spacer can be done by your self)
That's about 5.7k+, this should be the same HP but will have less torque than a Stillen SC Stage 2.
I guess for less than $1,000 more you'll get that extra torque and nice pimp factor. Well minus - for ugly hood though.

Also don't forget that the Stage II warranty from Stillen is an additional cost over the kit itself...

Well if you sell your stillen and parts let me know. I can even give you my stock hood for trade. If you wanted to go the turbonetics route we could chat. Where are you located?

Edited: To achieve Stillen SC power the cost will be close to $5k-6k and I don't think the torque can match the SC. There's no way NA with Stillen stage II power will cost half, so if i add another $1000-$1500 and have more Torque and nice pimp factor I'll definitely go the SC route. But that's only if i can go pass that ugly hood.

You see the hoold dosen't bother me. On black it looks the best. Just imagine it without those IMO ugly rims and the girl.
I don't know about you guys but girls should never be in car photos. I don't understand they don't make the cars look good at all! You should be taking pictures of girls in their underwear without the car lol.

5. Know any good install shops in the NYC/Northern NJ area. It says the kit can be put on in 12 hours?

1. I'm sure there has been at least one or two... but don't look at them thinking the same will happen to you. They must have done something really idiotic or careless for that to happen.
and
3. All of the turbo, supercharger kits come with base maps so your car will run fine right after install. No, it doesn't need to be re-tuned, but either way, because all cars are different, any car can benefit from a fine-tune on a dyno. Even stock cars, but the gains in fuel economy and power are better for the boosted cars...
