cost of installation
Going to depend a LOT on where you are, and what style nitrous system.
Going to depend on what the vehicle is.
Are you looking bare minimum or doing some extra like fresh lifters, oilpump etc?

Im sorry I didnt put in the specifics haha. I live in northern California my car is a 02 ss. The kit is a wet kit with the cam im going tp change springs, pushrods and timing chain. Idk if I need to do lifters and oil pump. The cam is a torquer v2 113lsa.
You would need to pull the heads to do lifters. They are probably ok for that cam. I would definitely do a melling oil pump, the old one has to come off to the chain anyways. I would also do the trunion upgrade for the stock rockers.
If you have a good set of tools, this really isn't a bad DIY job.

I would say in the ball park of $2500. Removing engine with trans ( much easyer ) getting the heads done ( valve job ) $300 or so, tune should be around $300 or so, and the little things that will add to the bill maybe a $100 bucks or so. But shop labor rates plays a factor, and then the juice wire up, maybe 3 grand or so.
Depends on hourly labor rate. My shop charged roughly $95/hr. My stall and cooler were 550 shipped from PTC, and after labor I spent roughly 1100 for parts and installation. A cam I'm not sure how much labor would be but for the can (400) springs (200-270ish) and pushrods (80) plus shipping, you're looking at roughly 750-850 before installation. So 11-1400 for the stall depending on what stall and brand you go with, 1600-1800 for the cam. I'd say get some tools and do it yourself. Nitrous I'm not sure how in depth of a job it is so I couldn't call that.
