who cares about the receit he posted to show a good deal he got, not for a response like that.
id like to see a reciept as well. I bevlieve him but Some places do price matches. It'd be a good way to swindle a great deal.

This guy used to have a shop but his partner screwed him so now he just does side work when he has the time. So as for the receipt, I do not have one. But to break it down he basically charged me 300 for the clutch install and 200 for headstuds and cams and 70 for the porting. Bc I was getting all that work done and having the downpipe already he didn't charge me for the bung. As for the shifter bushings he was already right there bc of the clutch job so he just popped those in while he was at it and it took him prolly all of 10 min to hook up my manual boost controller so he didn't charge me for that either...

I'm cheap as hell and i'd pay somebody $570 for all that lol. Good deal! By the hour the guy made 45 - 60, which is good money, especially without taxes for a side job.

I'd be careful unless you really know the guy. You don't buy IBM, you don't get IBM....
