are you gonna put new valve springs, pushrods, timing chain in as well because that could change the price. if your in there I would recommend changing those as well.
cam-389
pushrods-around 120
valvsprings- around 175
timing chain- around 175

instalation of cam only- around 350
instalation of everything above and cam- around 475
tuning of both- around 450

hope this helps

You may save yourself some money and opt out for the LS2 timing chain.....much cheaper, but thicker than the LS1 from what I understand.
FOR BABY CAMS ONLY IMO

Actually, here is what I paid or would have paid:

Springs: 159
Pushrods: 109
Chain: 50
Retainers: 160 (not req'd but elected to go w/titanium)
ASP pulley w/belts: 240
Cam: 390
Install/tuning quoted price: 700

Total: $1800
