Default Install rape

I have my saleen supercharger ordered so i started calling up places to get an idea on the cost of an install. I started with the local Dealer for a worse case price and they quoted me $1300 for the install said it would take 16 hours labor. So im curious as to what everyone else has paid for their installs? And dont say do it yourself, i live in a condo, ive done the o/r xpipe install lying on my back, the zex kit install and other little **** myself but im not gonna attempt this in the middle of a parking lot.

The car will be tied up longer than the two days, you have to send the ecm to Roush for reprogramming and wait for it to return Fedex. You could maybe rent a trade shop for a couple days, the install takes handtools only.

Joe Cooper ford here in Tulsa told me that my install would be 850$ complete in about 10 hrs.
I was also thinking about having to send the comp to Roush and then over night it back. So I'm taking a half day vaction and then the next day off so I can maybe take some pics if the let me.

One of my local performance shops said $750 for the full install, they had already done another 06 and did the install in a day. If I were you I would definately look around first, because the shop that quoted that $650 is not a half @ss shop and doesn't waste time.

Yeah...definitely don't go with the dealer and get some other install prices. Some shops take a day others take 2 days (depends). Sorry such a beautiful car doesn't have a garage to house that beautiful mustang...looks great! J

$800 sounds about right. I would keep shopping around.

Dealer charged me $1,600 also. But that's about the amount they discounted the s/c. I paid because I don't want any BS if it comes to warranty issues.

Roush has nothing to do with it, he has a Saleen S/C

You have to make sure that includes tunning/dyno time. Which I doubt
