Question Good Price for a Whipple install @ Dealer?

I went to the dealer where I purchased my car and started inquiring about a Whipple S/C 500HP kit. Here are their prices they gave me:$6000 for the Whipple S/C 500HP kit and $650 for the install, told me one full day for the install. Good price or not?

Doesn't sound to out of the ballpark. Just depends where your at and what the market is like.

Not real familiar with the Whipple and such but a KB and install would run you about the same around here.

The install price looks good. I paid $800 for mine locally at a performance shop, but I was quoted in the $1500 range at others.

The purchase price on the blower isnt that good though. You can get it cheaper elsewhere. Contact Steve @Tousley Ford. The other thought is to go back with a counter offer of $5500 for the blower and $650 for install. IMO that would be a super deal. Defineately pull the trigger soon as the price is going up $1k real quick. I would get it on the books next week.

Good luck

+1 to the above. With a price hike on the way for Whipples, now sounds like a better time than later to get one.

the whipple price just went up 1000 bucks so 6k sounds about right.
