I've found one shop who wants to charge me $1700 to do the install. I think this is a little steep <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

I've called three other shops and they keep givin' me the run around and NO quotes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Anybody have any referrals in state?

How about general quotes?

that seems really high the shop doing all my mods at once is charging me $150 for gears and $699 for installation of:cam,springs,pushrods,asp underdrive pulley,slp longtube headers,y-pipe,magnaflow catback so i would say that you are really paying to much...i am supplying all of the parts just paying labor if i got quoted $1700 i would never have done the work and would have <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />

Check out SFFBA.com, it is the local club. There is a guy that goes by BlueballZ in the club he has done quite a few h/c packages (including mine) VERY reasonable rates. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

MTI in houston did my cam install for $350 w/ dynos numbers. 1.5 years later my friend and I did my head install costing me 2 pizzas. It was not hard at all and a good learning experience. It's nice to know what was done with the issues we faced. We probably did a better job ourselfs then 90% of most shops. My 98 LS1 block currently has about 40% '02 LS6 parts on it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

'02 LS6 rocker arms (probably the same as the LS1)
'02 LS6 stock intake valves
'02 LS6 stock exhaust valves
'02 LS6 valve seats
'02 LS6 ported heads, valve covers, & coil rack
'02 LS6 intake valley cover w/ LS6 pcv system
'02 LS6 lifters, lifter guides
'02 LS6 rocker arm bolts & rocker arm rails
'02 LS6 intake manifold
'02 LS6 multi-layer head gaskets
