Now do you believe i was not joking with you i was serious lol. HEY sean question if the owner of the shop and ics are brothers why do alot of people like one but not the other vise versa talk down to one another etc. would explain why al and junior never had words since i been around.

 

Well

Sean

 

Yeah man i believe you, I guess i was too quick to pull the trigger on that one. I had never heard of "the shop" or "junior" so it was hard to tell. Anyway my sincere apologies.

I appreciate the responses guys! Thanks.

delongedoug....why would you not go to ECS? Im doubt i will end up going there. Just curious.

What is the average cost for installing a new headgasket, apr head studs, replacing timing & balance belts and camshafts?

Need this done but would like to do it right the 1st time

 

Why do you need a headgasket?

Don't replace it unless it is blown.

 

When installing arp headstuds. Some people use the 1x1 method but I'm not so sure about it.

 

why do you need to replace the head studs? - they are pretty strong... a lot stronger then people give them credit for.

 

KevinD, so far you have not failed to amaze me with your prices. I really wish I would have been told about you a long time ago. I have over paid on so many things to get installed on past projects. If I am unable to do my own work, I will call you. Again I will be back home in Jan, so Feb I will be ready for the tune.

 

^ we actually went over prices last night and raised some of them because the overhead and credit card fees (accepting credit cards takes a HUGE % of profit). cams unfortunately went up a little. i'm still honoring quoted prices with appointments though, and you fall in that catagory :thumpup:

 

what about what you quoted me for my full build??? and tune?? have it in a email as well main reason im coming your way

 

just curious how a 1-3% card rate plus interchange can be a huge percentage?

 

is the tune the same price, or did that go up?

 

Mojo Motorsport in LI did all my work including:

Cam Install
Headstuds
Valvesprings
Roadtune

His pricing is great and so is his work.

So can stock headstuds hold 500 to 550whp on a stock block? Probably going to run PTE 5857 turbo.

If it's doable then I'm not changing the headstuds. Please let me know.

 

I would replace the headstuds. Cheap insurance. There are a lot of tuners that will not even tune your car with that kind of turbo and the lack of headstuds. They are only ~$100. Would be silly not to do it.
