If a CLT shop can do it 2 days or under, has BE/ARP in stock for $2.5k or less, I'm in. LOL
North Raleigh is a bit too far most likely but BPC did mine in 3 days, in the midst of the last hurricane we had in late sept/oct. Dropped it off on Monday afternoon I think; car was done by Thursday morning. Actually, they did a few other things as well.

I'm guessing the smaller shops can focus on getting it done in one day simply due to volume. I believe all in all, it's a 10 hr job if I'm not mistaken. Personally, I'd go w/ a shop that does a high volume of RB replacements; BPC does at least one a week I think.
That's what I'm looking to do. Just need to source the BE/ARP parts!
