I recall an unknowing 370Z guy going to Forged and being charged upwards of $400 just for a Stillen Intake install. Yes they installed it properly, but at what labor rate? Either they charge a regular $85-$95 an hour and take 15-20 smoke breaks so it took them four hours to put intakes on..... or they overcharge on labor rates. It's a two to two and a quarter hour job to do it right so figure on around $180-200/hour for basic labor at Forged if you dont know any better than to ask up front for estimated costs / labor rates.

For reference, Z1 was around $215 for the same two and a quarter hour install on a 370Z, which I saw the bill for myself (which is about normal) and it was done perfectly there as well.

Also, the Forged guys are nice but their dyno is a retarded. Be prepared to take home a dyno slip of your 332 crank horsepower 370Z putting down about 250 to the wheels stock if you want to pay for that garbage. Apparently drivetrain loss on a 370Z manual is around 25% these days........
