If your relativly good with tools it is something you can do yourself.
It does take some time, took me about 4 hours if you don't count the time
I took to replace the superchargers spider gear. Probably could have done
it in less time but I'm a tad ---- about cleaning and torque. That and
some time cleaning out the intake rail and grinding a bit on a motor mount.
(banks aftermarket was an "almost drop in")
For $650 you can buy a nice assortment of quality tools. Or beer.
