The supergharger itself will be about $3000. You should probably consider a shift kit and transmisson cooler to which would be about $300. plus any other incidentals you might need. By hte time you are done you could have bought a used GTP that will run better than the modded GT
That's why it would be cheaper to just swap in an L67 motor.
