Default Shops that will install a cam in Fresno???

Okay, I have been calling shops for 2 days for my 05 GTO and it seems no one will do it and/or they want $1600+ to do it. Have any of you other cam guys had problems finding a spot? Anyway my search is still on. Any suggestions. I tried searching and didn't see anything important.

Rhetorical question i don't expect answers just jealous of those of you!
2 OPTIONS:

Either swap some stock maifolds/y-pipe every 2 years.....or you have to "pay to play"

It works out cheaper than swapping long blocks, swapping fuel, intake and exhaust systems. Removing the turbo kit, and switching tunes
