how much $ for cam install
How much should I pay for a cam install including, all gaskets, new timing chain, hardened push rods, labor and dyno tune on a stock ls1 with headers and lid at a professional shop?
Also, do I need titanium retainers for a 224/224/113 cam?

A lot of things are going to effect your price.
Pushrods $100
timing chain 50-150 depending on what you get my ls2 cost me $40
gaskets and fluids 100-150
The comp 921 kits that includes springs, Ti retainers, hardend seats and seals can be had for abour $520 smaller kits are cheaper.
The Patriot golds are in the $300 range I think for all the same stuff.
I think you ment Ti retainers NOT Ti rockers but TI retainers are a good idea
Dyno tune $500
Not sure how much a Proffesional shop will charge for labor to install the cam and stuff but I just know what I have been charging my friends to insall there cam's
Hope this helps

I would budget aside $1000 for the cam, gaskets, and all the valve train parts. Throw in another $1000 for a professional install/dyno tune. You may come out a little under budget this way, but I would rather have left over money than wait on a paycheck to get my car back on the road!
