Default Cost to install gears in lee county?

Buying some motive 3.73's to replace my 2.73's and where is the best place to get it done at? Also getting an install kit.

Ill bring everything, so i'll just need them to install them.

Any local shops can PM with a price and there location.

Thanks

For that much ill do my own, only reason i want to get them installed is because i dont want to buy all the tools again.

Why is it so much? Isn't most shop labor rates like 90-115/hr. Takes 4 hours to install? Thats insane.

I paid around that much too. Whats nice is I have peace of mind and warranty and with 4.10's and NO whine, I am very happy with that.

Thats pretty good price. Ive installed gears before in my 69 camaro 2 times with success both times, but ive lost/sold a few tools needed and dont really want to buy everything over again.

X2 for Aftermath! Roy is a great guy. I need to get the lt1 down there and put it on the dyno to see how much the cam swap helped.
