If it where me I would check to see what they are charging you for all the parts to make sure they are not over charging for anything. You probably can buy all the parts and take them to the shop and have it all put on alot cheaper than they are charging for them. Even cheaper yet buy the parts put them on yourself and take it to them for the retune.

Ya I can understand the convenience part. But do your self a favor and get a break down of how much each part is before they do the work. And than compare it to what places like www.50resto.com have it for. Even if you are healthy in the wallet area there is no reason to pay to much for parts

I know Marv is expensive but that sounds ok to me..

I was watching 'Two Man Garage' today and they put on an exhaust, pulley and a tune on a 03/04 Cobra.. Went from 360 WHP to 417WHP..

Not too shabby if you ask me..

Sounds pretty good to me as well. Make sure you get a safe tune <12.0 A/F at WOT.

Best of luck and enjoy your "NEW" car.

Default Get it right

Actually the cobra was on Horsepower TV and it made 427 hp. I actually created an account to say that.
