I spent over $1000 in parts/fluids/gaskets/bolts alone. Then it took me 3 days to do the install. Then you still have to dyno tune it. You had better find out what is included.

Is it an L99 or LS3 car? The L99 cam swap is a lot more involved in most applications being the heads need to be pulled off. A LS3 car I could see someone doing that. Our prices aren't far off from that. Let me know what you got and I can tell you if that's good or bad.

My L99 was not cheap because they did an LS3 conversion and many other things at the same time. They did my cam swap this way.

The lowest price isn't always the best deal. I'd choose your installer based on more than just who comes in the lowest myself.

Too Many Shops Throw Cams in without Dialing them in so it is a luck of the Draw at that point.
I have had to move cams as much as 4 degrees to get them Dial in to Spec, this take time and time is Money. The trunion upgrade also takes about an extra hour or so. Don't choose the lowest price but the Most Detailed Job Done Right. Ted.
