Whats going rate for S/C install...?

I love when i got the bill when i had my 94 gt with heads n cam was topping it off with a novi 2000. I bought EVERYTHING blower, guages, sparkplugs, msd btm. shop said they had "the worst trouble with fit" and didnt really know what was going on. Two and a half months later and a 3,000 bill JUST for the install that I refused to pay, and it got REALLY heated. Last time my car stepped foot in there....
 
I was given an estimate of around $1500 for a Roushcharger install at a performance shop. Seemed high to me, but not sure if there is anything more complicated about it. Also don't know if that includes a custom tune or anything like that - I just got the estimate through a PM on a local mustang forum from a forum sponsor.
 
With custom tuning, I can see over $1000. If they're installing a GT500 fuel pump, I can see over $1000. Otherwise, I don't see any reason to pay over $1k. Brenspeed charges about $650 for a Saleen intercooled installation.
 
yep, brenspeed will put you up in a nice hotel while they install the blower. chubhunter is has been talking to them about doing it for his GT.
 
Anywhere from $500 to $1000 on any intercooled blower system would be reasonable. It takes a little longer to install a twin screw than a centrifugal. I charge $500 for a centri (intercooled) and will charge $700 for a Whipple twin screw (intercooled).
