What kind of figures are places pushing on these anyway ?

This year I moved to only using USA made performance products within a line of my engines. This means a billet crankshaft, and Nickies cylinders, among other things. An engine like this has 13K worth of parts alone and comes 100% complete.

As component quality drops more and more, we have to manufacture more parts, do more development on those parts, and we can't buy just a few at a time.

I did one single time study on an engine assembly in 2014, and by the time we started, till the time the engine was on the truck, we had 103 hours of accumulative time in that single engine.

Call it price gouging if you want to, but you won't find anyone to even tune your engine up for less than 85 bucks an hour. To create a complete engine, and spend this amount of time doing so, we are making 20 bucks an hour less than that, generally speaking.

I have no shortage of people who appreciate this, if I stopped taking orders right now we'd be working into 2016 just from those who are already committed.

That build time estimate is about dead nuts on.

It's why I don't work as much on these projects anymore. As when I give my price quote the whining starts "Can't you do it cheaper"
Peeps are shameless, I even ask what would you say if your boss said "I want you to work for half price for the next month"? "Well no I wouldn't ...but can't you give me a deal...."
Luckily I'm in the position to say "No, I can't, sorry".




That said the hell with even the six, for 35-40K there are whole finished cars I'd rather own (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
