pressurization kits out there for experimental aircraft?

What do you think would be required in terms of hardware to

pressurize an

experimental and what do you think it would cost?

Lancair IV P. I think the kit is around $70,000 as I recall. The engine
is another $50,000 then it takes 7000 man hours to put it together.

I've been doing the periodic inspections on a Lancair IVP for a few
years now.  A large, expensive and complex aircraft.  I believe the kit

was

more like $90K, IIRC.  I think the motor is less, but with prop and
all the pressurizaiton stuff it may approach $50K.  Not for those who
worry about money, the owner of this one does not.

Not 90K its 125K for the kit, I have a friend that is building one. I

think it is the fast build option. I know he spent well over a month at the
factory with the wings.
