I called one of my local Performance dealer's and they wanted $650.00 for just the kit. Is that correct? Thanks

 

That is correct CHOLMES. $650.00 GM list. Get it while it's hot.

 

Or spend a few minutes reading the several threads on this topic and find out where to save about $100 on it.

 

If I order it from somewhere or than my local lot will they be able to get the ecm download? I know this sounds stupid but I have dealt with N/A and Juiced cars in the past.

 

Yes.

 

One more question.... Will the wastegate adjustment work with the new tune? If so, should it be done before or after the install. Thanks Again!!!

 

My boost went up a few lbs after shortening the rod an eighth of an inch. Not much.But saw deffinate improvement in performance. Now, If the ecm will counter that adjustment is unknown yet.

 

So what kind of Gas Mileage are you folks with the Kit installed getting????

 

It seems like my gas mileage, if anything, might have IMPROVED just a bit. Time will tell on that point but the increased torque is sure worth the outlay of $$.

You need to keep in mind that this kit install does not effect warranty coverage, if these kits were installed by everyone with a crimping tool, it might be hard for GM to allow this continued coverage. Besides, when you call Techline to get the calibration enabled, you need to supply them with your authorization number from the kit, your REPAIR ORDER number and your GM DEALER CODE. It's a matter of documentation, they (Techline) tab your VIN number with this calibration so that many miles down the road if your car needs to be recalibrated for any reason.....you will have the "kit" calibration available right there in the computer, no matter what dealer is working on the car.

All dealerships are independant businesses, the actual labor charge on something like this is arbitrary and set by each store. Our dealership charges $294 labor....forget "hours", that is an archaic time allotment that should be totally discarded in my opinion.

 

Got mine installed today at Rydell Chevy in Van Nuy, CA install time was 2 hours. When the sevice advisor came to tell me it was ready he said the tech was amazed with the power.
Thanks Bill for the info on where to go.
