Alright I have called 3 shops (S.Cal) now and that is the price I have gotton for install using the FR heads and/or Bullet intake and T/B, Pro-M MAF. All other parts and labor.

Does not include a chip or tune either.

So unless I can do it myself; I mind as well just wait and use money like that as down payment on a 2005 or '06.

I can't do it myself. :(

is this for all the parts and labor combined? if so, than thats not to bad a deal because FR heads are $1000 and the bullit intake is $1200 with install kit, so after the install it would be a good deal.

2000 PI heads rebuilt with light p&p: $595
New Mac o/r h pipe: $150

You can get a head changing kit off steeda.com for $105 but right now they are on back order and so is mine :( . You can also get a kit from gefracing.com but theirs is 117, both have the same stuff. 375 is way too high

Call Dan Newman at (800) 266-6049. He is an FRPP dealer was VERY nice, and gave me a great price on the head change kit.
 
bullitt intake kit with all parts for conversion $1600
pi heads $900
bolts, gaskets, etc $300
That means they are only charging like $800 for labor which is fair...consider this when I shopped around and
called some shops in 2002 asking about the headswap,
one place wanted $5100 for everything including a dynotune
