What has everyone been paying for labor??

 

about 550 for install and 495-650 for good tune

 

before i decided i to do the cam + valve spring install myself, the cheapest quote i could find would have been a minimum of $600. Since the heads already have the valve springs on them, it may even out. It also depends on if you are going to be adding a new oil pump or timing chain (that will add extra time as well)

 

Yes I did oil pump and timing chain as well.

Where did you get the 600$ price from local shop?? Or dealer?

 

$600 for h/c installed is a very low price.

 

shops here in kc are about 600 for heads alone, 450 cam alone, 800ish for both, plus all your caskets and misc parts.

 

I ussually charge $1200 -$1400 for install/tuning.Price depends on Header install? P/V clearance checks ect.

 

I and BLKWS6 on this board do heads and cam for 800.00 1 day turn around.

 

Damn! I need to up my price!! I've been chargeing $450-500 for a C5 H/C install

 

Haven't done a C5 yet but because of ease of access I would drop price somewhat

 

easier on top yes but the rack has to come out the pass side...big PITA

 

I wont argue that,as mentioned I haven't tried it, but bending over and reaching under the cowl is no picnic either

 

H/C and oil pump install cost $1200.

 

That shouldn't really make any difference. They both have to come off anyhow. Won't add but maybe 10-15 mins max.

 

pay , whats this concept you speak of?

 

I got my cam and srpings done for $350.

 

HEY TIBURON WHERE DID YOU GET THAT DONE AT? IM FROM THE VALLEY ALSO AND AM LOOKING TO GET MY TR CAM INSTALLED AND TUNED.
