figure a day of install to a day and a half, for someone who knows what they are doing, I did my Stang in a weekend myself, most kits are 'Bolt on' ....sorta, there is always gonna be some fabricating and cutting and things, not really much to tune, most times with a S/C you have to upgrde the fuel system as well, injectors, pump, plugs, wires, anddepending on milage of the truck your buying a good overhaul may be in order. Remember your slamming another 60-150 HP through a engine that has already been worked for 3-5 years.......as well as the running gear....
