How much did you spend on cam setup?
For my cam only setup w/ headers and labor on a '01 vette I spent...$3564
cam 395
comp pushrods 114
dual springs/tit. retainers/harden seats/valve seals 295
professional labor on cam 495
full dyno tune 200
....................................Total $1499 basic cam only package
Extras:
comp adj. timming chain needed to degreee cam 175
additional to degree cam 50
ASP pully w/ belts 175
new o2 sensors (for best readings) w/ extensions 150
...................................Total $550 extras not needed for basic install
LG long tube headers w/ full stainless 3'' x-pipe exhaust 1200
new gaskets 20
professional labor on headers 295
...................................Total $1515
I NEVER intended to spend this much, but one thing led to another...lets hear your thoughts and opinions on your cam setups.

A quarter short of $770 for a Thunder Racing cam package (cam, pushrods, retainers, springs) with a complete gasket set and set of NGK's, and about $70 for a double roller timing chain. Installation was free (did it myself), and tuning was another $300. Total cost was $1140 for everything. Man, now I too wish I hadn't added it all up. This is an expensive hobby.
