Ah. I didn't notice you're dropping the motor into an S10. Since it's your engine, tell the builder tomorrow that you want the cam card, or specific details of it. And as far as the heads, if it's just a rework job then it's most likely not ported out any and that'll hurt the estimates too. I still stick by my guess

Well, when it comes to cams "one step up from stock" would be a tow cam lol Which they don't make for F/Y cars lol And if they DID make one for the B/D-Body boats, their cams were quite small compared to F/Y-Body cars. So one step over stock, would be 3 steps below where you started 
And THAT is why you should get the actual specs of it 
If he can't tell you them, then I'd start questioning that "professional" and "trust hands" label you're giving them
