new battery from vatozone $48 (i work there https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR)

straight through exhaust $100

pineapple racing 5th and 6th port inserts $50 or so

homebrew header (wrapped myself) $75

new gaskets and o-rings for the intake mani and inj $200

set of 10th anniversary wheels with tires $100



then i found out the sputtering was rusty gas tank



acid dipped the tank $50 at a local radiator shop

new to me walbro 255 pump $40
