my local dealer quoted $650 installed price and only 1 day to do it. they have not installed any other kits. I think I will drive to a dealer that has done them before. I hear that the final tune is the key to it performing corectly.

Expect around 235-245whp People have yielded better results after a tune or change in pulley's If it's the dealers first time install expect it to take a bit, and be sure to get your stock parts back, as well as the hex tool for the pulley.

costed me about $650 also took them 1 full day and they gave me a rentacar on them. but make sure the dealership knows these important facts:
1. your car IS and COMES supercharged
2. knows what a stage II kit is
3. whatever mods you have that are aftermarket you can hide them or disguise them so you keep your warranty. (if you care about it)

Don't worry about the smart asses . The difference from stock is a nice jump. One of the nicest things is that the shift from 1st to 2nd isn't as bad when you have a 7K rpm limiter. I did my own so as far as dealer time , it could vary . Average is 2.5 hours . Crate engine depot is having a sale on the right now , they are going to be the cheapest .

I paid $176 for labor only, kit was $550..GM partec hotline says install time is 2 hrs, so you can tell your dealer not to overcharge you..If they quote you higher its because they probably havent done one and they don't want to lose money..Thats not your problem though so dont let them screw you
