Default Cams around Danbury CT

Well guys, I am getting close to buying a cam for the T/A and I was wondering if anyone had a cam car around danbury, CT I could check out. I am looking for something mild. If anyone had the magic stick v3 or a f13/f14 that could give me a ride to see how the car acts I would be greatful. If you are around, pm me and we'll arrange something. I would really appreciate it!

I go to fairfield sometimes I have a 231/237 cam might be a month or so before I go back down there but if your still looking around that time I don't mind.

I would love to stop by the shop, but I don't want to waste anyones time, I plan on doing the install myself and I'm on a pretty tight budget so I want to go with the best price possible. Im not sure what you guys charge for cams, but here is the original thread i started.

https://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/477691-cam-my-2000-t.html

If you guys are in the same ballpark I would rather know the people im giving my money to. I hope that didn't come out wrong.

Im trying to do a setup that is going to be close to $700, if I can afford to I will do a ls6 oil pump and a new timing chain.

Will have the car on the road w/ a TSP torquer V2 (232-234/113LSA) by april 20th. I work from danbury all the way over to new milford and back so i can easily bring the car up there if your still looking by the end of the month. TSP cam package i bought from them had me close to around 700 w/ dual springs/ rods/ retainers etc etc.
