Good Price for Cam Install and Tune $1250?
So I want to get a cam and started pricing out how much it would cost and found a great deal from an independent mechanic/tuner. Before you flame me... He works for one of the shops so he is knowledgable and experienced. He is doing this so he can start up his own shop. He also has a 1 day turn around.
Let me know what you think.
Parts: $700
- Comp Cam 236......
- Hardened push rods
- Double springs
- titanium valve locks
- valve seals
- timing chain / sprocket
- valve cover gasket
- timing cover gasket
- front crank seal
Labor: $550
- Install all parts
- HP Tuners tune
Total price for labor and parts $1250 cash.
I got pricing from "reputable" shops in my area and they are quoting me $2000-$2300
Would you do it?

I need to get a price on this as well as I plan to have a cam installed in mine in the near future. Maybe we can find someone here local and get a better deal for bringing 2 cars to the same place.

much better oil pressure which is key wespecially sicne youll be revving the car a little more with a cam that size. At your mileage its a hell of a good deal as a maintenance item to do while its right there.
Basically the magic stick 3 from texas speed. Its a high revving cam that makes great power. STageup on here has it and has great results....it also loves the bottle if that is in your future. You will give up a little driveability down low and the tune needs to be spot on but i think youll be happy with it.
