Ya, I agree. $2500 US is alot for a basic stock build. You need to find out what upgrades they are going to do. That will tell you pretty much the cost. We ran a basic stock TH400 build with a few upgrades and it only cost me $1000 Canadian at the time. We were running 600 hp and 600 torque and never hurt the tyranny once. I pulled it all apart last fall for the new engine and I spent $2500 Canadian just in parts to bring it up to 1000 hp rating. Plus a JW bellhousing.
