LOL as much of PITA mine was to put on I cant do it for free. Plus I will be taking off work so I have to at least make as much as I would working. Any ideas? What would you all charge? Im not looking to make a killing of the guy, just want it to be worth it and reasonable.

I would charge him at least ~$325 if he was a good friend then around $200 just because I know how much of a PITA the resistor box and all the gauge wiring is to make it look nice and neat... all the other things should be a plug and play or bolt on and hopefully not have to change much to.

charge him like $10-20/hr....its going to take a while but the price per hour compared to a shop is a hell of a deal
