Does anyone know how much it cost(parts only) and is there in mods you have to make for it to work?

You might run into problems with your supercharger. The pistons on the 96-98 modular motors are flat. The 99s have a curved piston. This will bump your compression up to about 10:1. You may have to back the boost down quite a bit. I am not however speaking from experience. The heads may not be enough either, you might have to do the intake as well. Those nice hi-flow heads won't do you much good if the intake is still your bottleneck.

Deftone, the adjuster only adjusts timing. The only way to raise or lower your compression is with heads and pistons.
The problem with this swap comes with the fact that the 99 and ups gained their extra power through raised compression.
The timing will help deal with any detonation (pinging) that may come after you add those heads. The reason I said to make sure you get the adjuster is because with that higher compression you have a more tempermental engine than before. personally I would go another route or just spend the money and get the FRPP heads and intake. I'll bet that next to a S/C that is probably the easiest way to make big power with your car.

I saw a bullit intake slightly ported with throttle body on ebay. I don't know if it will fit on your car. I think the starting bid was 200. I was considering it for my 01 GT but my car is not blown (yet).
