i know ppl right outside of pittsbrugh that can install that. i installed my dp myself in about an hour on jack stands. if your willing to drive up 28 i could definitely get someone to install it probably way cheaper than any shop.

Yeah I live in an apartment and don't have anything to lift the car with or I would do it. So I don't mind paying a place to get it done. I live right across the boarder in wv and go to pittsburgh all the time

your right in my area, instead of driving to lancaster, drive down to tune time in NJ they have tons of experience and are much cheaper than 600$

do you really think that to much for retuning everything? i mean i have stock injectors stock pulley only an intake and cat back. what i was goning to do is put a 2.9" pulley on port the supercharger put the stage 2 42# injectors on and a header down pipe on. then trailer it up there and get the whole computer redone. lol do you still think thats to much?

Dude if you need a tune I'm in Hightstown NJ, not sure how far it is from you... but I can possibly travel to you and tune for a lot cheaper than 600.... PM me.

I just emailed racekrafters. they said they have tuned more LSJs & LNFs than they can remember. they also told me that they are a dealer for harrop superchargers.
