I have seen them go for 2k-3k depending. Sometimes better deals, you just have to watch the classifieds.

If you have any fab skills, I would suggest a cheap turbo. Can easily be done as cheap as a used SC kit, as long as you can do some of the legwork. The 4.8L loves boost!

I also agree a stall is really needed, my car is a slouch out of the hole, but when it hits boost it sure makes me all tingly inside!
