hey just a reminder , make sure you blow out your engine real good where the fuel rails are , inspect to insure they are clean , you don't want any dirt getting in the engine when you change your injectors , also dap a little oil on the injector oring seal

$550 isn't too bad for the install. Mind PMing me who gave you which quotes? I'm just interested in local performance shops' prices.

But these motors are easy to work on with good instructions, so that's why I did a self-install. You'll be able to do it easy once you have the right tools. When do those pieces come in? Give me call if you need an extra hand during the install. Me and some buddies can always stop by since you're close...
