guys, i've been getting alot of information and help from people in this forum, i'll really like to thank you all. but just want to know if i'll be really for the swap 9 weeks later, my budget's $5000(usd), not sure if it's enough, gonna order the clip from Venus Auto. here's the break down

Clip - $1500
Shipping to NYC - $878 ( i think it's really expensive, they said it includes a liftgate )
Labor - $1000 ( anyone here who could charge me cheaper than that i'll be more than happy to pay you )

balance now = $3378
remaining budget = $1622

what else would i need to get? i think i'll use the stock GT tranny for the time being, thought of getting a HKS SSQV BOV, Roo from bullet proof automotive was telling me that i'll need to get a FMIC, checked the price on EBAY that it's going around $300, how much would custom piping for the FMIC cost? i thought of getting the boost controller, and safc. please enlighten me wise ones.

i'll pay $100 for the timing belt. is that enough?

I was charged $24 for one just three days ago from Napa Auto Parts. Said and done, just like that. Put it in the next day.
