Well hell, this looks like a fun topic so I'll throw in my 2 cents... or way more than that. I may not run with the big dogs, but I spend like 'em, lol!

Engine swap (GE to GE): $4,100
Rims/tires: Damn, $800 I think
Red Top Batt.: $150? Dunno...
Stereo: $1800, 2090 with my error(s)
($400 speakers+300 amp+400 subs+300 amp+200 CD player+200 wiring+290 a few mistakes)

TOTAL: $6850, plus spoiler and paint (have NO idea what that cost, it was a b-day gift ), window tinting, my stereo mistakes, and various other unforseen problems (leak in AC system - 2 compressors bye-bye, front bushings, whatnot...)

$15 / 20,000 + the price of the car
