Why would you sleeve 700's? LOL just messing with ya...the stock block has been proven to well over 700whp in the past 1 yr 3 months sinc emy build, the community is moving fast. IMO sleeves arent needed for 95% of people anymore. Thats why Im putting mine to work

This should not be in the Mid-a section anyway...
I'm surprised no one has posted this yet, but there is a search feature that you should really take advantage of.

$9999 = Greddy TT complete package with FCON V-Pro, installed and tuned
http://www.racemrc.com/cart/index.ph...&productId=170
$589 = HKS EVC IV
http://www.racemrc.com/cart/index.ph...&productId=167
$3390 = Forged Performance Stage 1 Shortblock
http://www.forgedperformance.com/sto...cat=277&page=1
$3845 = GTM [via Forged Performance] Level 1 Shortblock
http://www.forgedperformance.com/sto...cat=277&page=1
$1500 give or take = Gauges, catch-can, and miscellaneous accessories
$2000 give or take = 5AT VB+TC or 6MT clutch upgrades
$2000 give or take = Exhaust, BOV
Save some money by not going crazy with gauges, and assembling your own catch-can, and doing modest transmission upgrade only, and omitting the built block.....
Should be in the FI forum but what do you guys think?

All the answers to your questions can be found in the FI section, its there for a reason. Looking up specific FI kits will find the answers you are looking for, and contacting Vendors for prices will give you an idea of that. Each build is custom, no two are the same.
As stated in your original post, you aren't going FI - you are interested in NA mods, so WHY even start this discussion in a REGIONAL forum?

thats about right. pretty much what i payed for my jwt.
Nah, I think this thread should stay right here because I just want to through something out there mainly for the Mid-A guys to holler about. It wasn't meant to be so technical, it just turned into that. And i wasn't trying to get a pricing on what I should pay for the mods I want. I was just curious to see what each individual spent on their babies (350z) to get it to their current state of performance and looks. Some people spend 1,000 bucks to get it to their current state and it was done in one year, other spent 7,000 to get it there and it took 3 years. Just curious, but it it's a touchy question nevermind. Seems like this question isn't being understood for the purpose I wanted it to be.

A couple years down the road when i'm built and sleeved you will see something worthy of talking about.

Could you do me a favor and just not respond if you don't like the questions being asked? I understand where u are coming from. If you or anyone doesn't want to answer whatever I asked then it would just be better not to answer instead of creating heat wit responses like...
