Default My install price from the shop

So just wondering if i am getting a good deal on my install, things included are cam, springs, rods, headers, e-cutout, ls6 intake, and redoing exhaust all the way back. Was quoted $1300 for all that work, thoughts?

Sounds like a lot of work for the price. I'd go for it if I had the parts and money

That is a good deal. I was quoted $1,500 for just headers and a camshaft swap.

are you providing parts or them. the parts alone cost more than 1300.
