$320 to install a Whipple, hahaha! They are either crackheads and need a quick high or your a crackhead to believe that. But the bottom line is that $320 isn't what it cost for ANYONE to install a Whipple CORRECTLY. You realize some guys pay $320 to have plugs changed? Oh and yes changing the plugs is also needed when installing a blower.

I have been doing mechanic work on the side under my carport for 10yrs +. I wouldn't touch that job for $320 with a 50' pole. My prices are normally 1/2 or 1/3 of shop prices and you wouldn't see me touch that for less than $600 and that's if your a friend of mine.

I keep telling y'all I'm not familiar with labor cost because I've always done my own mechanic work on my vehicles. It is a legit shop doing it though.

You guys are crazy putting $6,000-$8,000 in your trucks for a supercharger.

To be fair that is more than just the blower. That's a fully built engine. And I should be well over 500rwhp but closer to 550rwhp

320 for a supercharger install 😂😂😂. That's cute. As stated above, that's for just a cheap tune and a few pulls. Just stop, you don't know what your saying and are uneducated on the subject. Read and learn, before you make a bigger fool of yourself. You already burnt bridges with your BIGGEST helps around here. Make a new account. Start new, that way you save the embarrassment and they would read your post.
