the tpi setup is very expensive to modify. i have over $1200 into my fuel injection setup, and the specs for my engine in my sig are for it being carbed. with a 58mm tb and larger injectors, but a stock intake, its very restricted and isnt making much more than 300 hp right now, maybe 350 torque. its fine with me right now as i dont have the trans or rear to hold up to the engines full potential. not saying its a bad setup, but its expensive to get high numbers from. if i were you, i would start will a full exhaust system then work from there

 

Dont know where your coming from, but the B4C's are already among the more desirable thirdgens, so yes, when these cars start raising in value, the B4C's will remain up there with 1LE's.

It's a "special package" thing that people go crazy for

 

Well go "CRAZY" and buy one. Also a lot of very hard miles on Your "special package" which is NOT a RPO offered or do you have a RPO for it.

 

im not trying to Argue or be a smartass, im stating facts, if you have a car that was not offered to the General Public, people who know those cars will want that one because they couldn't order that package when new

same goes for the Fox SVO's, people go crazy wanting those too

the "hard miles" are nothing to worry about because 90% of thirdgens out there have alot of hard miles on them, and the B4C's were probably the most well taken care of Daily Drivers as the Police and FBI's cars are Serviced more than regularly

The B4C's were also the Ultimate Stock sleeper for the Third generations, since they were Z28's, but looked like an RS on the outside, the only other thirdgen that resembled that would be the California Irocs

 

i'm in total agreement that 400rwhp is very unrealistic with that dollar amount, but good luck!
