You are using Naws?

Antifreez is needed when the manifold is removed.

Lip,

What on the list did they charge me for that they should not NORMALLY be charging me for?

Doesn't that price on the Fuel Pressure Gauge seem abnormally high? I thought they were like $100?

Thanks,
Jon

Is the labor well over what it should normally be, or just a bit? I want to know if it is just a bit higher because he does nice work, or if he is trying to f*ck me making it outrageously higher.

It is my BILL, but I could still negotiate a bit I HOPE! He told me the other day that he could cut it down to $3500... .should i ask for even lower, or would that be very rude? I was thinking of giving him $3500 and asking him to install a dash kit and a custom purge outlet for that price of $3500 is that unreasonable of me?

if you have a problem with the price you should have negotiated beforehand.

I did agree on a price for a dry system of 2050 with all of the same upgrades as I have for the Direct Port setup included. The only thing I added was a fuel pump and a direct port upgrade and soft plume nozzles. So I figured I could afford the direct port upgrade.. .I had no idea it would be this much though.
