Default Esc kit installation - what is the expected labour hours for a shop?

Hi folks,

I thought I read somewhere in the past that the ECS kit installation with injectors and boost a pump was 10-12 hours.

In your experience - is this assumption true?

its doable if you have a lift, air tools, and have done a few to learn the process.
It took me a weekend with a lift and air tools.

I believe it's doable in that time if you've done it before and nothing goes wrong. i.e. balancer doesn't fall apart at first start up making them have to pull it back apart, etc.

I think it's doable in that amount of time though. Honestly installing the kit itself isn't bad at all, it's pinning the crank that's the biggest PITA of the job
