Forget summit and stick with some local tuners here. TEXAS SPEED and PERFORMANCE is a great place to start on some killer prices!!

HorseHockey. If it is a good kit, ANY TUNER HERE would install it for you. No sense paying the markup.
You guys are so quick to poo poo anyone not using the coveted vendors on this site. I'm not bashing the vendors here. But some of their prices are NOT witihin reason for some of the parts being sold.
Buyer beware and shop. Also talk to the local tuner near you and find out what they recommend. If they won't install the parts you provide, go elsewhere.

Talk to a local speed shop (see if a forum member knows a good one local to you) and see what they have to offer...my speed shop is fantastic when it comes to answering questions...they even get me part numbers so I can shop around for best price...I also like summit's prices and have never bought a bad part from them...just know what you want - they are considerably lower then most others are.

Great Budget way to go to get 425rwhp and 500 ponies at the crank, but of course you will need headers, air intake and a good tune!

My thoughts exactly. I'm actually looking for some take off LS6/LS2 heads for that exact reason. Shane
