Default Cam install price?

Ok well i have 3k sittin round now and I plan on goin with the MS3 with a 113 lsa. Gettin the ls2 timing chain, ls6 ported oil pump, comp cams 921 dual spring kit and pushrods. My question is, what length push rod do i need and how much does the average valvetrain swap + tune usually cost? I would do it myself but i dont wanna screw it up.

Cam, springs, and rod installs can go anywhere from 425-700$. Tune will be around another 500$. Or you can find a local member to do it for you for a few hundred bucks.

yea I would say around $400 to $700 for install and roughly $300 to $500 for a tune, and the pushrod length is 7.4.
