Constantly scouring places like the US Ebay Motor Section and the Classifieds on Corral.net
You can pick up some good stuff second hand. GT40P's are around $500 australian recoed! Decent alloys can be had around the $1000Au mark. Lot's of stuff, new and used, Lot's cheaper than can be had here. I emailed one of the shipping companies that you see advertise in Just Car's that bring in Yank Tanks and see if they handle parts too. To bring in a set of heads, an EFi intake, a cam, valvetrain etc I was told to expect around the $140-160Au mark! 26 day shipping and they can even freight from their depot to you when they're arrive! Even buying NEW from Summitracing.com: Trickflow Twisted Wedge Kit comprising of Intake, Heads (Complete), Cam, Timing Chain, Gaskets etc. $2200US - $2800au 30 Lb Injectors $295US - $376AU Summit 76mm MAF $219US - $280AU Thats $3700 Australian there, add another $300 for freight and you have $4000. There are many tuning options available and you would need to use one of them to get the best gains and a smooth runner. Tweecer, CAPA Chip, Chiptorque etc. Final Cost would also depends on how confident you are with a spanner. Lumpy
