the warranty issue was my only reason for going there, otherwise i would be doing it myself. I think I will pocket the 3k and do the install on my own. If something breaks i will strip it down and just say the engine blew while i was going to the grocerie store.

I paid about the same for my Vortech install with dyno tuning. $3000.00 is crazy!!!

It' d prolly be cheaper, had you bought thru them..
remember, a good load control dyno is gonna be costly, but the benefits FAR ouweigh the costs (ntm, realworld simulation)
the install should be about 1200-1500, plus a few hun or so for gauges.....
then tuning is very vechicle specific, as some cars take to the vortech maps okay, others (like mine) ran nutz until cleaned up/retuned

We just got quoted $3k by Grubbs to install and tune a vortech.
Is that some kind of joke?

What's up Josh. I posted this on your site **********.com. Like I told Jaysen, I am meeting up with John from Infiniti to retune the car in the morning when it's nice and cool to see if I can get better numbers than the ones I got when it was 102 degrees. I'll ask why the price was so high. i told Jaysen how much I paid for it. The only reason I can assume it is that much is because you aren't buying the SC through them. Dunno bro, whatever you do decide to do, it will be good to see two more SCs on Zs here in Dallas.

Thanks guys for the input. I will definitely be doing the install myself. I was just planning to go through the dealership for warranty reasons. But the benefits of doing it myself are far better than having them do it for such a high price..
