Why not purchase the unit from Kenny Bell and install per the instructions. Many have done this. Been around for many years. Good Luck

I did mine, and it wasn't too bad...I also did a cam and headers. The cam install was waaayyy harder than the blower!! Plus the Kenne Bell comes with very detailed instructions.

I say GO FOR IT!!!

We started one yesterday at 9 am, and set the head unit at 6pm. We had about 2 more hours after that, and she was fired. So all in all, it took 11 hours.

It is a 10-12 hour install time.

Now, if you stare at the instructions for 2 hours, and set it all out according to the install steps, OR are just trying to find a reason to charge a customer extra labor money, then yes, it will take longer. But if it takes you longer than 15 hours, you had a very long beer lunch.. haha.
