Default how long should install take?

how long would install take if your were to install this list of items into a WS6

vortech V9 SC
headers
y-pipe
boost and air/fuel gauges
built 4l60e (they are building it up for me)
torque convertor
and a dyno tune
and other small stuff... not much

my car has been gone for 3 weeks and they say it might not be done for another week or 2... does this sound right?

just wondering cuz im getting very depressed .... i want my baby back

steve

I would think two weeks would be plenty for something like this. The only thing that usually takes some time is waiting for your car to actually get in the shop but once there shouldn't take that long.

If your car's just sitting there w/ nobody working on it, I could see why it would take that long. If they took your car in, have the time to work on it , and have agreed to work on it and are touching on it daily, then it should have been done in two weeks IMO.

how many lbs will you be running? if lets say 7-8 #'s, depending on the tq converter size as well, id say anywhere from 440-480, maybe 500 rwhp or so, depending on the setup as a whole.

have u asked them if they have been working on it since they had it?
