Shoot, the stuff you just listed already puts it at close to $4000 i believe and then plus all the stuff you forgot to put? not to mention that 500whp is probably without catalyctic converters and youll never pass smog with a lopy idle (and polluting more). You might just be better off buying a supercharger kit!

I've done it both ways....and FI in the end is easily the best bang for the buck IMO...staying N/A and making power comparable to FI power is VERY VERY expensive and actually less reliable and less streetable....SC or turbo FTW...
It all can get expensive,but for moderate power increases FI all the way. My Camaro will have a blower on it before it even has headers lol. Keep your foot out of it and it might as well be stock....put your foot into it an hold the hell on...can't say that about a radical N/A set up...
