Default Supercharger installation labor

What is the typical (if there is such a thing) or reasonable labor charge for a supercharger?

I am paying 1750 for procharger labor, 200 for guage pods labor, 250 for boost a pump labor and 550 for dyno tune. Didn't really shop these prices, trust my guy and there you have it.

$ 1500- $1700 is the range. Much to everyones belief, these kits are not "bolt on"! There is quite a bit of triming and jerking around to get most of these kits installed.

What kind of performance gains did you guys with ProChargers get? Was it worth the money? Speaking of money, Breathless Performance in So. Florida wants $6995 + nearly $3K for the install. Anyone know of a shop down here that does it for the $1500 so many of you have reoprted?

I got roughly 153 RWHP and took my shop 3 days start to finish. If your places are taking longer than that they must not know how to do the install. My guys have done 12 installs already. They are perfect.

Breathless Performance claims a tested 585 HP but those numbers don't count as much as improved acceleration: a lot of this extra power is lost through wheel-spin, so what I want to know is how many seconds or tenths of seconds are shaved off the stock performance figures? Anyone have some stats to share?
