Default Is this too much to pay?

Just got a quote for installation of an LS6 intake manifold, 1.85 rockers, LS6 springs and pushrods. Quote was $250. Is this a good price?

Sounds like a good price to me. Most of the time having just the springs changed cost more than that.

How much would installing all this normally cost? Just trying to gauge the price... A friend will be doing it on his off hours with the help of a co-worker.

That's about 4-5 hrs. worth of work. $250 sounds reasonable to me. A typical shop would charge around $60/hr usually.

If they know what they're doing, I'd say go for it. That seems like a good deal to me.

Outa curious-ness, why will you be using LS6 Springs?
