500!?! WTF!

Are you paying a homeless guy to do it for you?

I have never seen a shop come anywher near 500 for install of heads/cam/headers...

That is crazy

I see $1200 for a heads & cam at most places. I think its a 16hr job or more.
$500 is a deal but then I wouldn't trust a shop that would charge that low of a rate.

for $500 you better stay and make sure they know your car has Eight Cylinders!

I know Speed Secrets charges $1350 and it includes the proper P to V checks

I think he's in the wrong local board... he said STL, and judging by the location in his profile, I'm thinking he means St. Louis, not Seattle.

But I'll be taking Speed Secrets up on the heads install price (keeping the same cam).
