For parts, labor and tune (complete) I've seen $2500 as pretty typical. Can you even do a cam swap in these V6's?

It's labor intensive I think that sounds about right though. Did you shop around?

Is that just for the cam swap or does that include a tune also? Can't wait to see how you like the Mace cams!!

Is it $1500 for the timing chain and the cam swap? Or $1500 in addition to the timing chain replacement?

I'd say $1500 for the cams and timing chain might be fair as you have to remove the front cover to change the chain stuff. The cams can be changed by themselves without removing the front cover with the proper tools.

He is talking about a cam swap. He has the Mace cams and wanting to know a good price for labor.
