Not to mention you will probably dump 500-1k in labor costs even at the cheapest place. Project yourself at 8.5-9k. If you are doing your own install ..still project it at 8.
I will tell you the power adder of the cam wasn't as much as SC obviously... but when you couple that with the sound. I cam glad I did the cam first. That totalled me out at only 4.5-4.7k for everything including LS3 conversion, dyno, install, new lifters, etc etc
If you plan on selling this thing in 3-5 years, then used parts shouldn't hurt. I plan on keeping this car through generations.. cannot bring myself to do anything used.

I remember hearing your car last year at the rally, it sounded great. What is the purpose of a cam and are there any down sides?
Preferably I'd like to do everything at once.
