Lt4 cam install estimate? How much do you think it would cost a reputable engine shop to put a lt4 cam in my lt1? Also how hard and time consuming is it to install new valve covers? Thanks

Maybe the better question is: What else can be done besides a cam install to add power? Honestly...for the power gain...Id look a million other places on the car for more power before going LT4 hotcam...just me though. Its pricey for a somewhat marginal gain.
