CAM, SPRINGS, PUSHRODS Installed 1 Day $1499 BEST DEAL!!! Ok heres the deal, I ordered my cam from a vendor and it didnt make it here on time, so I had to pay full retail. Anyways I'm doing the parts, and full install (AT A PROFESSIONAL SHOP NOT MINE) For $1499.
What this includes:
Comp Cam XER273 224-230 114LSA (Awesome Cam)
Comp Cams 7.4 Chrome Moly Pushrods
Patriot Dual Valve springs, retainers, locks etc (good for .650 lift)
Also you get a:
Mobil 1 5-30 Oil Change
NGK TR55 Plugs
SAME DAY. Meaning drop it off at 8am, pick it up at 5pm. This "IS" driveable home, but you should get a tune asap for full driveability.
Also, if you need a 1 Day Cam install, PM me. The shop has all of the special tools to get it done in a day, Price is $650. This is the best shop around, and I have been to them all. Very reasonable rates, top notch service, and they get the job done, I hate being strung around.

Sorry to break this to you man but the Mods will put the kabash on this because you are not a 'sponsor' paying sponsor fees. This happened not too long ago. Just wanted to warn you before the thread disappears.

LOL, Jason that is the funniest **** I've heard in a week. I think that post would be:
If you want cheap labor, and you want to pay triple, 15 mins. AFTER you drive off with it, then go to LPR.

Well having some tools make it easy... I noticed doing the pen magnet thing for the lifters probably isnt the best idea. Anyways its a good price with all the parts, oil change, and plugs. Again Same Day Service.
Seems high to me, just being honest... LS1's are a pretty easy cam swap... yes I've done plenty myself. Springs are the only PITA (f@ck pin magnets, use dowels in the oil galleys to hold the lifters up).
You say drop it off at 8:00am, pick it up at 5:00pm. SO, they start on it at 9:00am (after it's cooled off) and should have it done by 4:00pm (tell you 5:00pm to be safe). Factor in a half hour lunch and that's 6.5 hours for a cam install, which is pretty dead on the money.
Only thing is you're paying $100 an hour in labor (at the $650 you quoted)... It's not NECCESSARILY high, I'd pay an experienced shop that to make sure my car was done right, but it's not a steal either...

Yeah the shop has special rods, that go in, basically same concept.
SO yeah about $100 hr labor, but you figure its a "REAL" shop, with multiple lifts, all the right tools, experience, and same day service. You also have to realize that there are shops around here charging $850-$1200 for just a cam and spring install. Trust me I've called most of them.
Seems that you have the know how to get the cam swap done with ease. Do you have a shop or are you just an individual?

If your brave doing your own cam swap LS1's have a cool feature. If you spin the cam sproket before removing it to pull the cam all the lifters will lift and there are little o rings that catch them ( when you spin it the first time you can feel the lifters down, as you spin it more you will feel them catching ). Sounds scarey but I have done 2 in my buddies Z and one in mine and it worked all three times. The last cam install on his for the torqure 2 we had done in a little more than 2 1/2 hours.

Friend I worked with had a shop in Florida, just an individual out here.
Out here I built Tardy007 and KWIKWS6's LT1's, installed the direct port on LORDHELP's 2001 SS car and done MANY other LS1 and LT1 setups (just cam, cam/heads, nitrous, etc...)...
