Does this price seem right?
how come you haven't pushed it any higher boost wise? Futral Motorsports has the cam I think I'm gonna go with its the FM-7.

According to my Chilton labor guide, it is about an 11 hour job. That is the standard all shops use. So that is about $700-$900. That does NOT include parts transfer or extras and materials. That is to remove a complete motor, and install an equally complete motor.

Let me ask ya'll this, is it better to use my ls6 block (not sure if i have one but if I do) or will it not make a big difference using a regular ls1 block?
I wanted to pay around 5500 to be honest all in with a cam.

ok guys here's an update, i feel pretty good about this tell me what ya'll think.
For basically what you asked for which was the shortblock with forged pistons and rods with a stock crank, machine shop service for balance and blueprint ($2995), camshaft ($395), dual spring kit ($349), moly pushrods ($115), gaskets, fluids and seals (approx $350), labor to R&R w/ the SC, assemble, install and tune ($2400) comes to $6604 exchange as a normal retail price. Your price would be $5895 exchange plus tax for this setup.
What I quoted you in the previous e-mail for $6795 exchange plus tax adds ARP head bolts ($149), ARP main studs ($179), new LS6 inspected oil pump ($100), new Comp lifters ($229), new Comp adjustable timing set ($179), LS6 PCV system ($150) and a check valve for the PCV system under boost ($14). Normal retail pricing is $7604 exchange.
