Default Radix install times??

I got a guy with a Trailblaser SS who want me to put a Radix on it for him. What is the average time it takes to put one on? Trying to figure out how much to charge him for the install.

Thanks, Mark

If your well equiped with tools, you and a buddy can do it in a day. He can be swappin the fuel pump while your working on the front stuff. I did it mostly by myself. it took friday evening (fueltank) then saturday 10-6 to finish everything else..

I did the same exact thing. Installed the fuel pump on friday night. Did the main install on saturday 8-6ish (tooks lots of breaks) and played all day sunday. I probably could have knocked it all out in one day if i didn't take any breaks. It was my first install too. I've know of some people that can do a Radix install in under 5 hours, but they've been doing it for a while.

I'll be honest, It took me the weekend. I took my time and made sure of every connection, every cable tie and did EVERYTHING myself. I did additional things like a new intake, plugs and wires, larger HX with custom brackets and gauges as well.
