I rolled 110k sunday night, the M112 would be on as of today had it not been defiled by some. Just do all the checks like recommended and you should be fine.

I'm personally going Stage 3 4.3 for mine.

I was kind of expecting somewhere around 4k-5k for this, am i in the ballpark?

The last numbers I ever came up with that include building the engine, F/I, tranny, rear end, basically supporting mods to get the power to the ground safely, the price was around a total of $12-15,000 in parts.

I think that number's a little high honestly, I could get it done for around $10k probally. I'm at $5,990 (for all my mods) and all I need is the tranny, top end, and F/I. I would of only spend $4,300 if it wasn't for my wheels and the 3 different exhaust setups I had.

Well lets, see

Good built billet tranny $2500
Forged 4.3 Stage 3 $6500-7500 if you build it yourself
rear end $1500
Cage $500 <---- a good deal for the bare minimum
Power adder $2800-5500
supporting mods $2500+/-
dyno time $300-600

I think my numbers are pretty close
