Yeah you will see a good power increase with the gsc s2s, but don't pay $1,000 for the install. That's wayyy overpriced.

Shouldn't be anywhere near $1,000 for spring/cam install. You're getting raped.

Ask Buschur what they charge. Bet it's half of that. I'd even venture to say $300 if I was a betting man.

Yeah that sounds way to high! Should be around 400-500 dollars. I would check with others. I see you live in Pa, why don't you check with CBRD if you not to far from them. The other thing is your probably going to need a retune also so factor that price in also.

I'm for sure adding tune into it also that's why 1400 for cam install and tune sounds crazy

That does sound crazy, it should cost under $1000 . That being 400-500 for install and 400 for tune= $800-900.
