Nice job jason i am guessing this is not an easy job for a rookie car enthusist... I have only installed a few car radios and K&N air filters so this is a big step for someone like me. What do you think someone would charge for this install including reflashing (or whatever its called).

standard labor for a shop is usually 50-75/hr + 100-150/hr for dyno/tune

Boombotz...It hasn't been that bad so far...except for tapping the oil pan....That was a cluster Fu%$ if I ever saw one but I think it turned out ok...We'll see when I start the car up...The worst part seems to be the directions...The are not very good in my opinion...Plus they don't give pictures of a lot of stuff so you need to know someone who can guide you...Just go for it...And post questions on here and these guys will help you through it...Clint Walker on here is helping me via email...When I get it done I'd be happy to help you all I can...

20 hours for me. I ran into alot of snags. had to grind a few nuts and bolts, tapping the oil pan took way too long, went through 5 serp belts till I found the right one, and many more.....not too mention it was below 0 that night and my eczema was killing me in my coveralls. it was worth it though
