Default Price for cam and intake install?

I'm just looking for an estimate on what it will cost me to get my cam, intake, and headers installed on my 99 vette. I know prices are different everywhere but I just want a ballpark estimate and if anyone knows of a good place in Oklahoma city or near or Denver or Albuquerque or somewhere in North West Texas? Thanks I just want install estimate I will have all parts I need

It's going to cost in the 2k area, hopefully you find a shop that can also flash a tune for the cam/headers, or even better if they have a dyno..

Vettes have a little more labor vs fbody's since they need the steering rack removed so you can pull the harmonic balancer out to access the front cover..

I'm planning on Texas speed to send me a mail order tune so I can get it running decent and dyno tune some other time
I just wanted to know what it would cost if I walked in with an Intake cam and headers what install would be

It's gonna cost a lot, $100/hr labor at any decent shop.

If you find a person local he can do it for less than half. But I would be careful since you want it done right the first time. Do a lot of research.

And you'll need a new timing chain, cam retainer plate, new springs, possibly a new oil pump or at the very least a fresh oil pump o ring.

Make sure you use OEM exhaust manifold gaskets with the headers, not the cheap black ones that come with some header kits
