yea, CFI nails it... $$$. Buckets of money.
To upgrade the car and engine, add in the supercharger, you are into $20k. Or pretty damned close to it.
Figure, a quality forged short block, good heads and tune will be $6k, then a transmission, another $1500. Add in the rear end - you will need the D44 - $2k... then comes the SC kit, a new one isn't cheap... $6k?
Add all that up... and toss in labour for what you can't or won't do.
maybe..... but check this out.. golen builds a motor ready for a supercharger http://www.golenengineservice.com/html/lt1_lt4.html for 8500.00, the supercharger 5000.00, 2k for the rear, and 1500 for the tranny... about 16k.... then the labor 2k? maybe 3? for 600 rwhp.... in a C4.... how much would be spent to do that in a C5? or a C6? factoring in the C4 is paid for.... I think it would cost more than 20k, not to mention all the other issues that come along with a C5 or a C6.....
