Ok I just got off of the phone with the motorsports shop and this is what we discussed. I inquired about the purchase and installation of the 4.10 gears and they quoted me a price of approx. $600.00 now this seems a lil high from what I've seen here as the gear is $138 and the install kit is $100... Should the labor cost be that much more? Also I inquired about a new PI intake and was informed of the PI intake/manifold kit for $650 prior to installation. The guy said they are good for up to like 25-30 hp. So my other question is this.. I know I can't really do the gear install but is the install of the intake kit that difficult? Does it require removing pistons and things like that or is it a case of just removing the old manifold and replacing it with the new one like the plenum and throttle body install? Please respond before I commit to this.. Thanx guys...
MODS... Opinions please before I do this

i paid $700 for my gear install but that also included a chip so without chip it would have been $500 so i guess $600 isn't THAT bad. If the guy really knows what he is doing and is REAL good then i think it would be worth the $600.
ok cool.. I think these guys know their stuff at Livernois Motorsports. I went to their website and they seem to be a top notch group... Ok well I'm off to modland.. wish me luck.. My goal is only to get around 350hp at the flywheel so hopefully it shouldn't be too hard.

I was like BYE.
Damn, they are ripping you off in the USA. Ford dealer asked me 4 hours at 60$ for the install. That is 240$ CAN witch is about 180$US

along with the cobra?1990StangLX said:when i get my gears i think i'll be paying about 450 for the whole thing, gears and install
i hate u
naw, at this point the cobra looks simply out of reach for me. i can't come up with enough of a down payment to get the monthlies down to where i can afford it, and i dont want to lease the damn car either.JonJon said:along with the cobra?

so i may try again in a few months, save up some cash, like 8 grand or something, then sell the GT, pay off Ford, and try again.
So $600 was a bit high even though it includes the gears and instal? Well I'll just shop around some more I guess. The president and treasurer of our car club normally installs all this stuff for members but being that it is winter it's hard to catch up with them cats..

I don't think $600 is too much, does that include speedo recal too? (i don't know what's part of that install kit
)
