Default Avg $ of a cam install on 2010camaro ?

Just wondering what a cam install should cost on a 2010 Camaro M6 from a Reputable Shop ? Is it better to do away with the VVT setup, Lifters ect ?
I want a Nasty Max PWR N/A Cam ...

M6 cars don't have VVT, only autos.

Depends on what other parts you replace. Cam and springs should be $650-800. Then the add ons like push rods, oil pump, tensioner, cam gears, chain, trunions can all addup.

Labor alone, to install a cam and pull the heads to delete VVT should run around $1000 or so. If you have an LS3 you don't have to do that as they don't have VVT, so that cuts out the labor from pulling the heads. You'll have a slew of parts/gaskets in there too, as unreal says it really depends on if you are doing the bare minimum or changing out everything while you're in there.
