As they say, "if you have to ask you can't afford it". It's prolly the most expensive kit out there but it's also the most powerful. I wouldn't recommend it as a DIY for the faint of heart cuz so far I've used 3/4 of all my tools just to get where I am now on the install and I have a pretty big tool box. You can get the prices off their website

Default Easter Day progress
Not a lot of time today but just enough to get the exhaust installed so I could mount the turbo and started workin on mounting the intercooler. Tomorrow I should be able to wrap it up.

What's ARP's Head stud final Torque for the 3.8? Just curious. I am used to Diesel Performance and ending sequence after 3rd stage torque on all 24 is 165 Ft Lbs for upgraded 14MM studs when holding boost levels from 80-110 PSi Allthough Me running 56Lbs of boost on factory head BOLTS is pushing it so I am naturally a boost junkie.

Now a Boosted JK .. Hmmmmmmm Junkie next level.

Man that's a lot of boost

The ARPs are torqued to 80 ft-lbs, which may not sound like a lot compared to 165, but believe me those suckers will hold 12 psi all day long w/o any problem at all. They are simply works of art and a nice addition for any boost junkie!

No doubt. The lower end of the 3.8 believe it or not is stout. The valve train ... could use some titanium to lighten up loss but for bolt on kits .... big bang hp for the money spent without pesky parasitic loss. Like the saying goes injection is nice but would rather be blown

If anything does need help its the intake runners which look like they were cast using a cheese grater inside. Pull that sucker off and port & polish it up inside and I think it would increase flow substantially. Also, if you go as far as doing the heads then you should prolly go with some oversized valves and a high lift cam. Then that 3.8 could breath fire
