Default How much to install an intake?

I have a guy wanting me to remove his LS1 intake and install his FAST LSX intake. What would be a ballpark figure for this job?

Well it depends on if you know the guy or not. It is not that hard of a job. Is this guy completely lost when it comes to working on cars?

$50

If you F something up, you gotta fix it. You don't know what kind of mess you might run into of the LSX doesn't fit right or something comes apart in your hands.

I'm w/ the pizza and beer thing, teach the guy while your at it, besides if he is there and involved, it makes it hard for him to say you messed it up since he was under the hood w/ you.

dinner and beer/refershments while working, if its a friend ect.

Thats what our friends do for our install partys.

I'll help any of my friends free. Some random guy, who wants it done, charge him at least $50, incase you break the oil sensor.

Just help the guy out. I agree with the Beer thing, but I think Taco bell would be a better substitute for pizza. It's not that hard. I don't charge my friends anything to work on their cars, except they have to feed me

They need that same icon above, except with a guy turning around and pulling down his pants That'd be more accurate.
