How much does it typically cost for a cam and valvespring swap?


I just got quoted over $700 for a cam and valvespring swap over here at Norris Motorsports in Orlando and almost fell out of my chair.

 

I think $700 is about average. I've heard anything from $600 to $1000. Now you know one reason so many people do it themselves.

 

WOW!! I guess I'll have to put this on my "Weekend project" list.

 

~200 bucks worth of parts and do it yourself

 

WOW. I think that is a little pricey myself. I have got quotes from shops in my area and the lowest I found was 400

 

i was quoted 1100.00 for the install and a full tune from a local shop.I found a guy that will do it for 450.00 minus the tune.

 

I was quoted $700 without the tune....

 

That sounds pretty good, as long as the shop knows what they're doing.

 

Mike Norris may not be the cheapest around, but the quality of his work is excellent. I've been going to him for the last five years, he has done all the work you see below in my profile.

 

Do it yourself and put the money you saved into more mods. It's really not that bad if you use JMX's install guide and search this website.

 

drive to TN and ill do it for 350

 

hmm ive got quotes from 500-1000... then my buddy had a guy do his for i think around 250... and like another 50$ i think he had the pump, chain and rod bolts put on also..

 

i was quoted 1,500$ for a cam/spring swap thats parts, labor & tune.

 

BlkWS6 & I do cam & springs for 400.00 dollars. Over 20+ installs currently with NO problems(check our refrences in the Southern section) 4-5 hrs as far as the time. If I can help let me know.

 

Where are you located though? Do you have a shop or do this at home?

 

I manage a repair/maintanice facility in Snellvile Ga(approx. 35 mins. NE of the ATL) My bud Jason(BLKWS6) on here and I do cam/header/head/gears/ intake?etc./etc. on weekends at a discount rate for LS1.tech(mainly<but for Ls2.com/Gafba/etc.) members also. We have complete shop/ and acc. tooling at our disposol. Like I mentioned above we are not a shade tree opp. If we can help send me a PM.

 

That price seems perfectly reasonable. I got quoted $500 once by people I wouldn't trust, and I got quoted like $2000 or so by a dealership (without parts included).

 

This is the man to go to. He done mine and alot of the guys around our area. You can't beat the price and the customer service is the best. Like he said there are numerous threads in the Souther Section praising their work.

 

My little brother and sometimes me have done around 10-15 or so and often do them for $250. We are however, a shadetree operation lol. Just for comparison..

Peace,
Josh

 

That's a long drive from Orlando to Atlanta area.
