20b rebuild -- all the goodies, heavy porting, balancing etc 4500-5000
(3) 13b housings -- price to be determined (prolly around 800)
Haltech platinum sport 2000 -- 1500
lS1 coils "smart coils" -- 150 bucks
Header -- 500 bucks in material (I did the fab work on it)
20b stock subframe mounts -- 100 bucks (again I did the fab work)
Electric meizere 55gpm waterpump refurbished -- 150 bucks
ITB's (untested) 250 bucks in material (again fabbed by me)
Misc. electronics, wiring, sensors -- 800

You're missing...
Clutch
Radiator
Possibly oil cooler(s)

On the street, you might get away with "stock" parts, but throw this car on the track, and it's going to overheat.
That adds an easy grand...if not more like couple grand more on the budget.

I remember how many friends have shown me their build sheets estimating what their builds would cost. I generally found that multiplying by three worked out pretty well. Sometimes four.

I will also admit that when I was first doing this stuff, I made that same mistake. At least a mistake in hindsight. Others may be much more capable than I and my friends have been.
