Yeah $30k is pretty accurate if you're paying to have EVERYTHING done.

I have A LOT of mods done to the car as well as 90% of the car has bee repainted. I was at 15psi, but my knock sensor is having issues. Once I get my KS back in order, I will push it back up to 15.

I could be up there a ways, especially if I figure full retail price. I also keep every receipt for every little nut, bolt, and quart of oil I buy for the car.
I also count parts I've sold to bring the number back down.....
For example......
I have spent approx 2k on my current supercharger setup (basically just the blower and some cnc'd flanges and misc items.....
However I sold my old supercharger setup for $4300, therefore I'm ahead of the game so I can buy other stuff.
Again, I bought the OSV wheel for $400 online. I sold the tires for $350 and the rims for $1200. I bought my current tires and wheels for around $1000 so I'm pretty much at a break even on my rims/tires.
One more (this ought to get people excited/jealous, etc), I traded an ecotec subframe with good motor/tranny that I got for FREE........for a rolling chassis alero, that had $2500 custom coilovers (matt fuller's original set), a CF cowl hood (that I sold for $700), front and rear speedbuilt swaybars, custom control arms, and of course all the interior, etc. steelies with blizzak tires that I sold for $200. Oh I also got $300 for the car after I stripped it and took it to the crusher........lol
