Well I have some good news, the shop knocked it down to five hours labour at 80/hr so hmmmmmm next mod, just kidding I am done for this year. I would like a quick shift put in, mags, neoprene seat covers, cam, DOES IT EVER END???????? I find my self wanting more and more
The tune will be next month for sure unless the have a opening sooner, very curious how much rear wheel HP I have. Any thoughts LG long tubes, BB Bullet exhaust, Venom intake, I am hoping to be at least 360-370 rear wheel HP

I was quoted 2200. and 2600 from two different shops around Tampa, for the headers and the install. I was told that it was a great price. I finally got the headers from a vendor on another site and had a GM tech do it as side work. 1135 total. The two prices I mentioned first did include an x-pipe but I did not need one because of the XR-1 exhaust. Now I know business have an overhead but that is a lot of extra money. And no I am not mentioning names. Oh yeah the quote was for Kooks or LGs same price.

Yes, Install a lower stat before the tune, How much is a tune in your area? 350-400?
