I think if he wants to give a price range it would be fair but don't post the exact amount. Some of us would like to know a ball-park area of what that kind of work runs.
I was going to say...

How much boost did it take? I wanted to compare, I did a 515rwhp with a customers APS TT car a few weeks ago and I am curious how much more boost it would take to bring him up to where your car is. He was out of fuel with the APS fuel system at the time which is why we stopped.

When I thought I would have the money to do a Greddy TT setup after this summer, I contacted AAM about getting that from them, installed, tuned with utec, misc. gauges and fuel line, etc., on completely stock internals. The quote they gave me was $18k.
Now take that, add the more expensive TT kit, the $$ for the built up stuff, and the labor. That should give you the ballpark.

and I don't remember the torque. I was running Invidia test pipes for a minute but after I got the APS 3.5" downpipes, it made a big difference in spool and exhaust flow.

The unichip does offer alot that the UTEC does, injector scaling, switchable maps etc, but I just like the idea of the factory ECU not being able to change maps at will.
First time my tuner has used a UTEC, he knows his stuff, so should be all good.
All that talk of headlift has me slightly concerned though. Seems alot of it is down to tuning.

That looks like one bad *** car!! Similar to a project im working on at the moment. How is the unichip working out. I am running that right now but have heard its not to efficient over 500whp. I was thinking about going with Fcon. if i can make the unichip work i'll stick with it though.
