New hemi install total cost

$2350 for an EFI system???
OUCH!!!

But yeah there are "hidden" costs
Such as that "corvette style" fuel filter/regulator is only $30 but the connections/adapters people use to get it to -6AN will run you $50 for the set.
Then of course, everyone wants to run braided instead of rubber EFI hose.
That's like $5 per foot.

I checked the beginning of your build post and MAN seems like you went through it in the early stages.
I'm sure you have a fire breathing dragon by now tho.
I`m thinking one of the newer 6.1 truck hemi`s when my 4.7 lays down. should be a few around when and if that happens. sure sounds like it would be a bit-h tho.
