stage 2 kit

Just a quick question to my fellow cobalt owners on how much everybody is paying for the gm stage 2 install at their chevy dealership. I got a good deal on a stage 2 kit from the dealer but it seems that all the chevy dealerships want to charge me like $500.00 to put it in my car or they have not done one yet and dont know exactly how much it will cost. Please help I live in NY in the Albany area. I know that it does not cost that much to install it and I dont want to pay that price. Labor rate is like $90.00 an hour.

The dealership is saying that the hardest part is taking the old pulley off.

The pulley IS a bitch to get off. I had to sit on top of the supecharger and push as hard as I could to get it off.
