heard they do great work, but the labor costs are outrageous. everyoneeeee i know that has looked into them doesnt deal with them cuz of their ridiculous prices. they wanted like $9,000 for a Procharger install.

really well from what I read on their website it said, dyno tuning starts around $350 bucks I don't think thats bad, but let me know what you guys think, or anybody who has had any experience with them. I emailed them last week and they haven't replied yet so I guess I am going to have to call them.

well, idk about the dyno tuning, that sounds resonable/normal. but for all other work, forget it. i forgot how much, but somewhere in the region of 1000-1500 bucks for a cam install on my friends Z

I recommend their tuner. His name is Tim, very smart person, and VERY detailed in what he does. He doesn't stop until the owner is happy, everything from idle-WOT.

i've never heard of their prices being too bad.
a cam install is $800 and to me that is very fair.

anybody else have trouble contacting the guys at Redline? Yesterday I had to call three times to get a hold of anything, and then he told me he would reply to my email, and if he didn't to call in the morning. Well, already tried and couldn't get an answer, I guess I will try again in a little bit.

Andy and Chad ( aka Redline) are great to deal with. Tim does the tuning and is the only person I will let touch my car They can be kinda hard to get in touch with, but thats b/c they are busy and dont have anyone to answer the phones for them. Usually good about getting back with people though....

There are only two people that would have given a quote on any install, and I can tell you right now whatever information you have on this is FALSE!!!

And $1500 for a cam install? Your crazy man. Your or your friend have got stuff way mixed up.
