$3k for the PDM
$1k for the e36 throttle body
$1k for the custom intake manifold
$1k minimum for the custom race headers
$1k for the lightened flywheel
$500 for misc motor parts
$2.5k+ for custom cams
Not even mentioning the amount of work on the suspension, wheels, tires, and race interior. I'd rather buy another car for racing...Ex:e36 m3, coilovers, wheels, tires and a small amount of motor work <$15k and IMO a better car.

Wouldn't be 2.5k for cams - just have to get a set if OEM ones, draw it up in a CAD type software (free if you know how or have friends lol) and set the cnc machine to go
Intake and itb's are the same thing, it's the full manufold off an E36 m3, matched up to the n52
