How much to expect to pay for good heads/cam package? I remember some shops around town several years ago charging like $8,500 for a good heads/cam package ... but then again that was installed! It seems to me that they are getting cheaper and cheaper as technology is advanced and competition gets more fierce. What kind of money can I expect to pay for a good heads/cam package on a bolt ons car to get around 400rwhp?
