But why don't you get some quotes from other tuners so you know for sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS was quoted $500 for install of valve springs if I supply own springs. Edited 07/11/12 01:38 PM by -SteveR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
