Dealer quoted 16 hours labor for installing a M8 Stage III kit.  With a twin cam 103 it was about 10 hours labor for a Stage IV kit install.  Is the M8 that much more complicated to take apart and re-assemble with the new Stage III parts?

Different engine
No way to compare unless you do the wrenching yourself and retune it to match

we just finished one up and it did take a little longer than the TC.

Does that price include a tune?
Ignorance is bliss, and accuracy expensive. How much of either can you afford?

Price just includes Stage III download from the new Street Tuner.  I pulled out an old invoice for my 2014 FLHX Stage IV and it was 10.5 hours.  16 hours seems high, but it is a new motor and I have heard that taking apart the top end is more complicated than on a Twin Cam.
