Thanks, Tom

From their site:

"Most ProCharger systems can be installed in 8-10 hours with simple hand tools."

...based on that, most shops charge between $60 and 100 per hour for labor.

Expect not to get your hands dirty.

I agre with MIKE'S CORVETTE above and say your average professional LSX mechanic will charge you around $1,500.00 installed and another 400.00 tuned on a dyno.

Seems to be pretty much the going rate at least in the San Antonio area

Thanks guys! I'd love to tackle this install myself but time
does not permit...and I'd hate to see this kit sit in my garage
for a couple of months, so I will give the shop a call!

Thanks again, Tom

Thunder Racing quoted me $895 for my procharger install. I was low on cash so I just did it myself. It's really not that hard if you just follow their instructions carefully. I did it on jackstands in my driveway over the course of a weekend. I'm not a mechanic and have limited tools, but I think I could do it agian in 10hrs or less. With that in mind I think anything over $1000 is too much.
