I've spent around 6,500.00 total in modifications and from what I've learned/experienced you are better off doing a motor swap, lol. Don't get me wrong, the 4.7L has a ton of potential but all the performance goodies are alot more expensive than other engines. Just my recent performance mods

KRC 224 Cams = $900
Edge 3000Stall = $425
ASP 3.25 Pulley = $125
SPAL Controller = $75.00
Proform E-fan = 45.00

Just this spring alone I've spend $1,570.00 on just parts lol and God only knows how many hours installing and modifying. Where you can spend about 1/2 of that on a 5.7L Hemi and still have a long list of possible modifications available.
