I have looked an Fast XFI as well as the deliphi GMPP kit and I really want to know how much it is going to cost me before I jump in.
Considering the GTO LS2 plus 5k for a magnasun SP

To be honest I have not been keeping up with the total build cost. I had a bad accident on December 13th of last year that nearly killed me. I am just ready to be behind the wheel again of another LS powered car.

It was originally Gold with a black top..to be honest I would rather have it back those colors but it was this way when I got it so I will just live with the color. It has really grown on me.

Here is a pic of my GTO that I wrecked back in December. I nearly lost my life. I spent a month in the Trauma Unit and 3 Months in a wheel chair. But I am almost back to myself again.

Don't remember much of it I left the road running between 70 to 80 and struck a tree with the driver door. The proceeded to remove the door and break the car in half. I had my seat belt on mind you...and when the car broke all that held it together was my seat belt for a second, it broke my seat belt and ejected me from the car and flipped down a bank and landing in a creek about 10 feet from me.

Nova is looking great! And glad to hear your doing okay after the wreck, that was a scary day! I was one of the first few people down at the creek, someone was looking out for you in a major way!

Say thanks to you and every one that was there will never be enough...but yes God is the only reason I am here. I should have died that day. Thank you and everyone else that helped out that day.

Wow that looks like one nasty wreck. Glad to hear you are doing better and that is one sick nova. I am sure it is gonna run very well. I bet it feels good to be wrenching again not to mention driving.
