Default Is 2000 to much?

alright guyz i have the procharger, full exhaust, and my cam. but the question is...is 2k to much to get it installed i asked a garage and thats what they wanted to charger me. Now i can afford it but i also think that with that money i could use it for other modz(rimz and another $300 a drop also ) i have never installed a s/c but i think i can do it. so what do yall think? is that to much?

I would attempt it yourself. At least some of it. There are many board members in your area who would be glad to help you get things going. Probably even some with procharger experience. You might ask around in the southern section. 2000 is a lot of mod money. Try to tackle the cam and charger, then take your exhaust to a shop to be installed.

The procharger is really simple to install. The exhaust might be a little trickier just do to siezed bolts and what not. The cam is not hard but, if you've never done something like that it's probably the most intimidating.

I'd say try the procharger and exhaust install yourself and maybe find someone who has done a cam install before to give you a hand on that.

The procharger is easy, just take your time and read the instructions. The Cam Maybe find a friend to help you that knows NOT thinks he knows what he is doing.

even at 18 hours to install, @ $100 per hour, is only $1800.

14 hrs @ $75 per hour would be more like it.

this shop is ripping you off something crazy, and you should tell them so.

Do the cam and S/C yourself and take the exhaust to an exhaust shop. An install for a cat back should be pretty cheap. IF you have headers to install it will be quite a bit more.

I think about 80% of the people on this board are from TX. I'm sure if you buy a keg and pizzas you will get plenty of help.
