About $2,600.
$1,000 for coated long tubes + ORY + O2 sims, etc. + $150 to a guy to help with install.
$1,600 to MTI for cam + valvetrain + install + tuning.
Sounds like a wet dream now too!

A quarter short of $770 for a Thunder Racing cam package (cam, pushrods, retainers, springs) with a complete gasket set and set of NGK's, and about $70 for a double roller timing chain. Installation was free (did it myself), and tuning was another $300. Total cost was $1140 for everything. Man, now I too wish I hadn't added it all up. This is an expensive hobby. 
cam $ 400
timing chain $ 100

this is why I went back to the lt1....I did cam, fluids, roller rockers, valvesprings, hardened pushrods, timing chain, ported and polished my own heads, 3 angle valvejob, gaskets, long tube headers, for 1100....but i installed myself
