Well Davenport is $400 more than the GM Dealership I received a quote from and Performance unlimited is $1000 more. There was a fellow on the forum told me last week he had a performance shop in Toronto install his for $600 or $400 cheaper than the GM dealer and $800 cheaper than Davenport. Why are the rates in Calgary so outrageous? I don't mind paying a fair price but not paying a small shop $130 an hour.
If you want to save money, you may want to do it yourself. Or at least find a fellow enthusiast who's willing to pitch in and get his hands dirty.

I have personally sent a couple dozen people to Davenports for everything from blowers to headers to exhausts. On everything from Vettes to SRT300's with headers and blowers to Suburbans, also with superchargers - all told probably 30 cars and only one of them ever had a problem - AND in that case Steve had the car picked up and fixed within a couple hours at HIS expense and it wasn't even his fault ( turned out to be a faulty injector). Steve is the most expensive in town no doubt - HOWEVER he is also the best.( sorry Steve about the expensive part) I notice that you also want a blower - there is a competitor that will put on the blower for you and you will take to Davenports after spending thousands of dollars to be reprogrammed. How do i know this? Because a good friend once asked me who could fix HIS blower after having it installed by someone other than Davenports . For C5 or C6 work there is nobody in Western Canada better.
