Looking for reputable E55 tuner in the SF Bay Area
I'm located in the SF Bay Area and I have a 2005 E55. I have a handful of upgrade parts I was planning on installing myself, but can never find time with 3 kids. I'm now considering taking it to a local reputable installer, but don't who or know how much time it should take and/or how much I should expect to pay.
Input and/or recommendations on local installers are appreciated! Thoughts on the following:?
- Sonic Motorsports (San Jose)
- BR Racing (Los Gatos)
- ASP (Daly City)
Here are the list of parts I need installed.
- FTP heat exchanger
- Bosch 010 intercooler pump
- UPD 77mm supercharger pulley (includes tune)
- UPD idler pulley set
- FTP looped fuel rail
- FTP fuel injectors
- FTP cold air intake system
- PLM shorty headers
- NGK 1-step colder spark plugs
- Magnecor spark plug wires
I was quoted a flat fee of ~$1750, which equals ~15 hours based on the shops hourly shop rate. Is this about right?
Thanks in advance!!

Do it Paul.
That's actually a pretty good price.
Whoever's doing it for you is either going to realize afterwards that they should have charged you a little bit more.

BUMP!
Anyone have a local SF Bay Area mechanic or tuner they trust and would recommend them?
Help a brother out!
Thanks!
