I got my car ... :)
I got my car after a week and a bunch of $$$ 
just a tad more than the estimate ... Ed is good no make that great , at what he does except the estimate 
If I knew it was going to be this expensive I would have waited for the new engine and than I could justify the expense . Please don't get me wrong he is an awesome mechanic the only problem is that he's under manned and way off on his estimates . All I can say is its a good thing I'm rich (way up there in the lower middle income bracket ) .
But I got my car and I do recommend ED and his shop just watch out for the estimate
.

about the roll cage give him a call its 413 562 6969. he does great work.
andre, ed apologies for the low estimate. he thought he was just doing a regular lt1 nitrious kit. the kit you installed is like something from the fast and the furious which is much more complicated.
he also takes great pride in his work so when its done you know its done right. the key word is factory install.
lots of guys just throw things together and it might work but it look slike sh*t.
how did your car do at the dyno.
dennis
im happy it came out great.

>Oh don't get me wrong I think Ed is a great guy and would definately recommend him to anyone , and like I said earlier he does a professional looking job , but unfortunately I didn't get the chance to check out the system since something happened to the engine and I have yet to check it out .
The nitrous kit was made for the LT1 Camaro/Firebird from Nitrous Works (Barry Grant) , it's a wet system .I also had him install the N2O pressure gauge and boost gauge (S/C) , and also the Vortech T-Rex inline pump . So there wasn't anything "Fast and Furious" about it . As for the roll bar ... he told me he charges $120.00 per point standard fee (example-6 point = $720.00) thats painted and all the interior removed and reinstalled ... that seems pretty reasonable to me . Especially since my WolfRacecraft 6 point cost me w/ shipping about $700.00 plus I had to install my self .
And I only have the 4 point setup right now need to install the door bars eventually
