Ohhhh-THAT's what he meant.
So an alternator ($120) and a Holley (+/-$800) gets you to the $40-$50K plateau???-my bad.
So they build a $10K 427, add a $6K EFI, an alt and a Holley-presto $21K- maybe 550HP. Oh and you get a tag on the engine which tells you the temps and one dyno pull HP number (but NO dyno sheet) and you can show your pals at the golf course how cool you are.
Those kind of buyers gave Cash-Burn his name.
