i called katech today to see what a price would be for some work on my car. a tune, cam, spring, rocker install and they said it would take around 2 weeks and be 5,000.00 vector motorsports is gonna give me a call back tomorrow with a quote on it so i can compair. they both are in clinton twp which is where i live so its close by.

 

There is this place in Madison Heights I saw in a issue of Motor Trend. They did some dyno testing on a Z06 and a Viper. I don't know anything about them but by the looks of the website they do some tuning for LS motors.

$5K seems a little hefty

Given the options you listed (a tune, cam, spring, rocker install) I think they are charging you about twice what they need to. Cam, springs, and rockers should be under 1.5K parts (even with great stuff) . . .then they want 3.5K in labor. . .I don't think so.

 

LMAO, bring it to me, with parts, and when im done, you can give me $1k. ill even throw in a set of pushrods. LMAO, $5k.
if you REALLY want to spend $5k on your car, ill make a set of headers too.

 

^^^

 

AGREED.

 

yea, but im serious, aside from lol'ing all over my computer screen.
i do LSx cam swaps as a side buisness and im really itching to do an LS4. but i cant convince my friend or my brother(both own GXPs BTW) to let me do a cam in their cars. they want to keep them stock for awhile

 

I was actually responding to eddiemoney, but you beat me in with a post

If you ever get a chance to do a cam swap on one, we all probably want to see the dyno chart

Which reminds me, wasn't there a thread on here a couple of weeks ago about a cam swap in progress? Hmmmmm, wonder how it turned out?

 

well if anyone wants it done, pm me. and no it wont be $1k. im still trying to convince my brother and my friend to let me do it, but i dont think itll happen any time soon

 

I am in Peoria - you can do one on mine!!!!! :-)


for 5 grand just get the turbo kit coming out.

 

I'm curious to see what the Vector Motorsports (next store ot Katech) est will be.

 

No kidding.....for that price, get a turbo kit.

Do you think you can hit 500whp with a 5k cam swap? Not even close.

 

i got a quote from vector motorsports 1700 plus parts. not bad

 

still alot for just a cam...

 

kissmyss-ill do it for $1k
i have over 20 LSx cam swaps under my belt and im dying to do and LS4

 

This guy is tight.....5k is a little silly, gold plated cam anyone?

 

I would let the guys at Vector do it. They have a great background and also awesome customer service. 2k for everything is a great price.

 

yeah i would like a professional local shop do it if hte price isnt to bad. that way if i have issues down the road i can take it to them

 

Chris White has a huge background on these cars and the L36/L67 cars aswell, so you will be in great hands.

BTW, what made you go from 2 blue montes to a maroon one?

 

$1700+ parts? Better jump on that man. Doing a cam swap is gonna be a PITA. But if the guy has experience with L36/L67 cars then he should be able to do it no prob.
