This doesnt have to be a SHOP and at a SHOP the same person will not always be working on your car so quality will change.<P>Shops usually have alot of over head and quite honestly when the economy/business is good they do get a little cocky, cause they can.<P>One last thing is that a Saleen is a beautiful car and a nice package.....but it is still a Mustang.<P>You dont really need someone with tons of knowledge about Saleens, but about Mustangs....and the Saleen knowledge will come with that....<P>Just my take. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>cobraman_1994</b> <br /><small>Member # 467</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,0,27,15,13,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> im sure some of the people on this board will help you out for a hell of a lot cheaper then a shop would charge. i could be wrong, but probably not <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0"> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>the50ho</b> <br /><small>Member # 73</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,0,27,15,22,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> WELCOME TO THE 5.O HO GARAGE!<P>WHAT CAN I HELP WITH? <P><BR>$$$<BR>Jack<BR>$$$ <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>TRY2PAZ</b> <br /><small>Member # 97</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,0,27,15,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Het Doug,<BR>Its Brian. Glad you signed up <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0"> <BR>There are guys on here that will probably help, but finding the time to do it is hard. I would reconmend the shops we talked about for the headers and bassani. There are 2 shops in santa clara. One is APEX, they charge 90/hour. The other is mustang ranch 75/hour. The headers is about a 10-12 hour day job with someone that is knowledgeable. At a shop, its around 6-8 hours. At least with a shop if something goes wrong, they will correct it. Now with somebody on the board, your on your own, no warranty.<P>Did you get any of the mags we talkede about? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>PunkINa5.SLOW</b> <br /><small>Member # 10</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,0,27,15,34,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Hmmm well as far as a guarantee what exactly do they guarantee with a header and h pipe install?? Just the work?<P>90 bucks an hour on the average and lets say just 6 hours?<P>Well thats 540 bucks to install them.<P>I have pulled motors out re ringed and bearing them put heads/intake cam on them put them back in and made them run nice for about 400 bucks. As far as a guarantee if anything has ever gone wrong with what I did I have fixed it for free long as it was my fault <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0"><P>Ive never installed a set of headers on a car like yours but I bet you the labor I could do it.<P>Timing is hard tho like Brian says. I know Im booked for awhile.<P>Tell you what Ill put them in for free if you arent in a rush to get them done cause I would like to say that I have done it before. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>rob</b> <br /><small>Member # 50</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,0,27,17,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> shops have insurance<BR>if they strip out your cobra heads, they have the capacity to replace them if necessary. nobody on the board would prolly be able to do that.<P>are there any dyno tuners in the sacto area? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>PunkINa5.SLOW</b> <br /><small>Member # 10</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,0,27,18,4,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> He is right I dont have insurance but I doubt Im gonna strip out your cobra heads.<P>I dont think you have cobra heads anyway.<P>It was just a friendly offer.<P>Maybe Im in the wrong business? <P>Maybe I should open a shop get insurance and start charging 90bucks an hour <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0"> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>RiddlerGT</b> <br /><small>Member # 113</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,0,27,18,45,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Dan i think u should own a shop...I can be ur manager shit im already the manager of sawsons new guitar career <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>PunkINa5.SLOW</b> <br /><small>Member # 10</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,0,27,18,46,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I just see alot of money wasted and alot of people with their hands out.<P>Ask around Im always VERY fair to people. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
