[QUOTE="Evil Peaches, post: 1758501, member: 51657"] All, Looking to poll the crowd and get a little insight regarding the installation of my Procharger kit. I reached out to Livernois Motorsports to quote the install of my D-1SC tuner kit, which comes with everything minus the fuel injectors and Procharger's tune. When I requested the quote, I requested they also install/perform the following: Powerstorm billet oil pump (offered on their website,) colder spark plugs, Evenflo thermostat, and finally, a dyno tune. The quote, which I have attached to this post, was quite a bit more than I was expecting. [ATTACH type="full"]346808[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]346810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]346811[/ATTACH] As you can see, there was quite a bit on here that I didn't ask for, which bumped up my estimated cost considerably. I sent another message to the representative asking for a quote minus the additions: [I]"Alright sir, I’m off the clock and checked the quote over.
