Default Installation Charges
Is $2400 a reasonable price to pay for a Procharger Stage II install in Northern CA for a 99 C5 Coupe?

What is included in the charge? Larger injectors, dyno tuning, fuel system upgrade, boost and FP gauges? Depending on what is "in the box?, it could be an OK deal.

i would say not if all you are getting is installation, tune, and injectors. Means they are charging you about 1500 for the install.

Sounds a little pricey but it could be correct!

Tune should be around $600 that leaves $1800 for install!

Are they going to pin the crank too?

Because that is a labor intensive job and if they are going to install a fuel pump and provide the injectors too then that could very well be a decent amount for the installation!

What part of the Bay Area are you in?

Call Steve at RSD in Vacaville - really good guy and an honest Forum vendor too!

Steve will get back with you and will get you going in the right direction!

NOTE: On the installation, no matter who does it, you "MUST" get the crank pinned or you will spin the balancer on the crank!

Thanks,Matt

Man if you lived closer I would do it for you! and set you up fuel wise too (like mine ) -

You should also look into getting a Racetronix Hotwire kit for the fuel pump and minimum a KB BAP too!

After 2003 1/2 year model (or top of fuel tank mounted fuel pump)

Price sounds like it could be about right.

seems high to me considering there are shops on here that run specials of around $6000 installed, the kit itself is $5200ish....
