Well, realistically, you need to consider what you are getting with the kit, when comparing prices from one setup to another.
With Mopar S3, you get everything you need to just install and go. No messing around with it. No worries about blowing the motor up. You are not only getting a turbo kit, but you are also getting a new fuel system that includes injectors, a new fuel rail, and a new fuel pump. You are also getting a new PCM that is calibrated perfectly for the turbo and fuel system, along with new sensors that will accurately measure boost up to 29 psi. But you'll never make 500 whp with that setup. About 400 is as good as it's gonna get with all the bolt-ons and tuning.
If you were to buy the AMS kit, (assuming you only went with the GT3076R turbo) you'd still need the following:
- Fuel system, to include larger diameter feed line, return line, Walbro 255 fuel pump (Possibly 2 pumps, either in series with each other, or parallel), high flow fuel rail, 750cc injectors, and a RRFPR.
- Tuning, don't even think about piggyback tuners. Look into either a DSP custom CMR tune, SCT PRP, or go full EMS.
- At least a 3 bar MAP sensor. This will have to be set up to work with the PCM via SCT or DSP; or set up in the EMS.
- Built motor to sustain all that power. (The stock bottom end will only get you so far at that power level.)

I'll be keeping that motor around. It's got a bent rod, and would not be able to be saved without at least boring it .020" over, and a full overhaul.
