Total Cost for camswap
Doing it all myself it still cost around 1k by the time I got the cam, springs, pr's, timing chain, oil pump, bolts/gaskets, and crane valvespring tool. Looking back I kinda wish I would have just done a h/c deal b/c I want to do heads later anyways and it would have saved quite a bit of money. Now I'm thinking whenever its time to swap springs I'll just get me some new heads! 
I was right around $1,100.

I spent almost exactly $1,000 for the parts from texas speed. I have a large cam and needed dual springs plus I went the extra mile with a ported "LS6" style oil pump and a rollmaster double timing chain. I installed it myself, spending ~$200 on tools (spring compressor most important!!) and then $350 on a dynotune. (was only $350 because I had already purchased a basic tune)
Edit: Total expediture of ~$1,550 netted me:
Cam (TSP MS3 v.3)
Chromemoly pushrods
PRC dual springs
Titanium retainers
hardened spring seats with new seals
Rollmaster double roller timing chain
ported LS6 style oil pump
Thunder racing's in car valvespring tool that does two at once and is the ****
dyno tune by speed inc
a few assorted tools I did not have

cam/dual springs/roller rockers/chromemoly pushrods/double timing chain/ported ls6 oil pump/gaskets/new crank bolt/a few tools/a bunch of beer.....(really the beer was the most important part)
