I was wanting to get some price guesstimates on what it would cost to install a MS4 with PRC LS6 heads with all the supporting mods and U/D pulley. Also was curious what it costs to flycut if I go with a more aggressive head. And last the tune for the whole thing. Thanks

DJ Try Straightline. My car is going to them in 2 weeks. Also try FLP in Naperville. EXPENSIVE, but a very good shop!

Just be careful, a lot of these guys talk a great game. Then when they get your money you get horse crap service and you never get your parts or money back.
Because they are a sponsor, "_ _ _" people think they can do no wrong. Get everything in writing and don't pay too much up front.

If it's not too big of a pain in the *** to flycut I would still do the install myself. Or O may not cut and just install myself anyway. Thanks for the help guys
