Did I get ripped off?

[BlueOvalStangGT]

Just called up a place for the remaiing parts i need for my supercharger and the total came out to $455.73! Here are the part numbers
4fg111-021(bracket assembly)
4fg130-036(oil feed)
4fg130-026 (another oil part thing)
and then the radiator hose assembly.
Is 455 bucks about right for all of that? So far my total for my supercharger is this
1400 - head unit,power pipe, msd 6btm, Kirban AFPR, t-rex, gauges,pulley, FMU,
320- used 75mm pro-m and 36 lb injectors
110- walbora gss 340 pump
455- bracket and other stuff

I guess ill mack some of that money back since i dont need the FMU or he t-rex anymore, right?

Ditch the FMU but keep the T-Rex. Those things are like gold. In fact Vortech sells them for almost $300. When you get heads and stuff down the road you will need it. In fact I would put it now. I don't know what bracket your talking about but there are two that are needed.

There are two main brackets needed.

This the head unit one.

Then that one bolts to this one.

i wish i had money for any of that stuff

i have the first one but not the second, so you say install the trex and the gss340?

The second bracket is the most important since it bolts to the heads. Str8stang036 got all the brackets for $399 from Vortech a few months ago. I would install both the t-rex and pump anyways. It's kinda overkill but I've gone lean once and that's all it took. Changing heads gaskets is no fun. I had 42's, t-rex and a 255 at the time. You gotta get tuned anyway.

I am a firm believer that the T-rex bottlenecks fuel flow. The T-rex only puts out 200lph so it will be effectively choking up that 255lph fuel pump. This could be the reason why redGTs head gasket blew. Sell that puppy off and make some money back.

What blower are you running? SCH racing sells a bracket kit for the S-trim that is 10x better than the stock blower bracket, and is only $299. But you need the stock engine bracket as shown in the second pic.

Ryd, actually I didn't have the T-Rex installed when the gasket got toasted. That's the reason I suggested installing it. I would rather run rich.
