08 LS3 A6 question (is this mod pricing fair?)
I've been lurking here for a while but this is my first post. I'm hoping to get some opinions on pricing I'm being presented for some mods on my car.
The total package installed including tax is right at $7,900. 30 labor hours at $85/hr is included in that $7,900 total. I'm curious if others have had similar work done and if you guys think this pricing seems high. I certainly don't want to pay the famous Corvette surcharge. This is quoted through a reputable speed shop in Ohio, I live in Kentucky.
LG G6x3 cam kit
LG Super Pro 1 7/8 long tube headers
Vararam SC1 CAI
3,000 stall
Tune
Two dyno pulls
DVM exhaust cutout ( allows me to push a button for open exhaust)
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Sounds a bit high,
I had a cam kit,
long tub header,
O/R x-pipe,
25% UDpulley,
yank ss 3200 stall,
3/8 tunnel plate,
& mild-to-wild installed for less than 6K.
This has included several dyno pulls w/tuning and actually met these guys at the drag strip so the could adjust my shift points.
I got to say thanks to all the RPM Motorsports crew in Garner, NC.
check them out on the web, they run a 9 sec TrailBlazerSS, and have customer service that I haven't found anywhere else.

Just real happy with my car, and would think about taking it anywhere else.
