Default Heads and Cam

I was just curious how much I should expect to pay for a heads and cam install in new england. I am strongly thinking of doing this depending on the install price.

Theres a place in douglas MA prob about 30minutes from you that will do it and dyno tune it for you they did my car, good job and nice guys. They charged me $80/hr $1100 total labor and $500 for the dyno tune.

Or you could get ahold of slowhawk at dez racing in seekonk MA about a little over an hr from you.

Or even ESP which is prob an hr/half from you.

But you are looking anywhere between $1000-$2000 depending on where you go plus dyno tune and whatever else needs to be replaced in the engine.

I'd call/PM Don (Slowhawk) from Dez Racing for a price and any suggestions. I live in Ct and travel to Mass to get work/tuning done from Dez and it is well worth the drive
