Looking for good shop in Houston; not going to LMR they are out of their damn minds. quoted me 11k for headers and E. Eleven-thousand-dollars.

Also, would a pulley work with E and headers? If so I think I would add that on.

Thanks,

And when I ask for itemized quote the response is "we don't do that, we only sell packages" lmfao! translation = "we can't actually show you how bad we're trying to screw you over"

I want say much because I never had them build anything for me, but there last few videos with a 5.0 3.0 supercharger and F150 had real neat zip ties on there cooling lines. I put a few zip ties on my chevelle, but now I'm building it into a twin turbo T56 magnum bad boy and there want be one dam zip tie on it. There's better ways.

Considering a set of ARH LTs/cats/H-pipe will run $2100, several hours of labor time (what - $150/hour maybe), the labor time and parts for the E' sensor and plumbing, possible low side if you want to run full E' (with labor), and tuning ($200 in credits, $200 for TCM and $200 for TCM credits) and whatever they might charge for tuning (maybe another grand), all of that starts adding up. I'm not sure it adds up to $11K, but they don't do itemized quotes, so... I don't know that I'd do business with a shop that won't give me an itemized quote, necessarily, but I would make sure I get an itemized invoice, and pre-dyno and post dyno results to verify you got the gains they quote for the package you're talking about.

Not for nothing - there are a lot of tire kickers out there. They could have just given you a blanket response. I'm not trying to make an excuse for them, because I agree that it seems like a lot of money for the mods. Maybe we're missing something from the story...

The bottom line is, you gotta pay to play. Or - do it yourself.

You're not missing anything. I asked for a quote from sales for the above and that is what I received back. Never mentioned a low side, was not part of their "package" and do not need it at these levels. You're not sure? Well, I sure as hell am because I have a functioning brain. Pay to play? Is that what you call that? No, that's trying to extort people. He wants to be Hennessey so bad; not a good role model.

If you know so much, why do you ask? If you don't want to pay what they charge, go somewhere else. Good Lord. And go take your anger out somewhere else while you're at it.

To add, if I may, it might be worth looking at JRE's packages. He's a bit a ways away from TX, but, he can remote tune if the parts can be installed. I think Ted's 125-HP package doesn't even run a pulley, so no additional heat or anything.

And - if I recall, Jorge Loves Speed (I forget the latest channel name update) made about that with an RFBG, LTs, E', and a tune. If I recall - he had to run a low side to run about 60% E', but that was most of the SPARK he could run, and he was pushing about 650.

And - as many smarter than I have said a million times in a million other threads: adding a ported blower, on top most of the parts previously listed will get you toward 700. There are plenty of threads and comments answering the OP.

OP is about finding a reputable shop in Houston that can do the listed mods for a fair price. I don't want to install the headers and flex with no tools/lift or assistance. I've received 1 recommendation so far regarding that.

JRE 125 package IMO is the best bang for the buck for first mods. Night and day. I don't know Ted that well but I felt like I had immediate trust with him after a few conversations. Very happy with My remote tuning experience.
