Guide and seat work will vary on number needing to be replaced.

The flashing and various porting work will be hourly. My rate for now will be $10.00/hr.

I hope this gives you all a little better of an idea of how cost effective this is. Until I am out of school. lol Then only God knows.

It could easily be more with parts, gaskets and the like. That should give you an alright idea though.

The exact reason I came to 'Style with this was to get a name started for myself. A good one at that! As far as flow charts go, I still have to build the fixture to fit a 4g to our flow bench.




Sounds good!



I'm glad I don't seem to unrealistic.
Those prices looks really good, those posts will really help keep "customers" informed and get them more likely to do business.

If you can do flow testing you will have 0 problems selling your services. I have an extra 1G head no-one seems to want if you need more cores, it came off my motor running just fine but my car is setup for 2G stuff.

Good luck to you.
