Still 8's for $22-$23k including car purchase etc not bad. Anothere $15k thrown at it, for bigger turbo and built motor. be good enough to get into 7's, not bad for under $50k

Yep pick the right car it can be done, and as you said doing it yourself certainly helps! But if you are going to try and do an 8sec car with a BA/BF/FG 5.4 that you still want to drive on the street its a different story, bloody heavy things...
I saved a bunch this time around with the Coyote build doing as much as possible myself. Still cost me a touch more than $23k though....
