Whipple guys help please

[GoMuscles]

@ $125/hr they are charging me 20hrs for the whipple so $2500 installed with tune.

They also want $1500 to do a header install.

Is this fair? Im in the field with my truck waiting for parts at the moment.

Thanks in advance

I have the suspicion the guys doing my install are milking the labor.

seems really high for a blower. 1k ish is about what I've seen on headers....

Woo... Man I got my headers and full exhaust installed for 550. And my whipple install was only like 1250 installed a tune should be about 700 tuned with chip in hand.

20 hours for the whipple is a joke mine took no more then a day for instal

Header install is usually between 1000 and 1500....

Now I believe the Whipple should be 10 hour install and if they are dyno tuning it themselves I have heard of shops wanting it a full day 8 hours. Whipple has tune foe headers. Why not just use that?

Is it a costume Tune? Meaning did they Dyno Tune it, that's why it's 20 hrs.?

20 hrs. is a long time just for the SC install, was it their first one?

 

[GoMuscles]

Thanks guys thats what I was afraid of. Its a well known shop and Ive personally known the owner for 15yrs. Now Im not the type of guy who asks for hook up just bc we are friends but damn Im not tryn to pay more than I should either.

@ MTF : yes sir its a custome tune on a stock motor. Still think this is in line?

I'd say 20 hrs is pretty high. A buddy and I installed 2 whipples in about 16 hrs.

 

[NickPic83]

its the dyno tuning that will take some time.

why not use the whipple tune??
