Of course your cost for parts is going to vary but I've seen like $400-$600 for a cam install (labor).
Cam Gasket Kit - 56.91 Texas Speed
Comp 918 Valve Springs - 159.99 Byunspeed
Comp Valve Locks - 34.95 Byunspeed
TR Hardened PR's - 80 Bought from board member, never been used in car before.
LS2 Timing Chain - 38.34 SDPC

Total $729.19 + 399, did the install myself ... and figure an extra 50-60$ in coolant, oil, etc.

if you went to a regular shop and they looked at the book time. i think its 12.5 hours, and they are going to do it by pulling the heads, since that is what all the manuals say. 12.5 x $90 and hour is only $1125.
it only took u 5 hours suttererman? is it that easy to do. i looked at the ls1howto and it seems moderately difficult. ive only installed some of my boltons but nothing major and i dont really want to screw something like this up.
