How much did you guys pay for pulley and spark plugs installation?

I have these two item for so long and didn't get around to installing them. So I'm wondering how much I should pay to have someone install them. I got a quote for $85 for pulley and $55 for spark plugs. Is this a good deal?

Also got a quote on dyno-tuning my V-AFC for $100 an hour and it might take 1.5 hour. Should I do it? and I can see how much power I'll get from pulley and spark plugs as well. Anyone want to chip in for my dyno so I can share the V-AFC settings with the board?

yeah, I did mine myself. I also did my friend's 99TL. There is a difference, the 00 was harder because there's less space in the back.

It's still not hard though.

So where can I get a spark plug wrench and are there instructions on how to install them in the FAQ?

I would still like to know how much the rest of you paid for pulley installation though!

and anyone like to chip in for my dyno tuning of the V-AFC?

Instructions on how to change your spark plugs are in the manual. You can get a spark plug wrench at Kragen or any other car parts store. Check the manual for the size you need, I can't remember off the top of my head.

Changing plugs is pretty straight forward. Check your manual.

Four things:

Let your engine cool down before you change them.
Don't let anything fall in the empty holes while they are out.
Only un-plug and change one at a time so you don't get the plug wires mixed up.
Don't overtighten when installing the new ones. Hand tighten and then 1/4 turn with the wrench.

Dustin: I got all the parts already, thanks. So you gonna hook me up with the install? What's the place's name?

Damn, if I install the plugs and pulley myself I wouldn't be able to dyno it before and after. What should I do?
