a little harsh with the above post from people trying to help you.. but all in all we charge 700 for a head and cam install at my shop and 500 for a dyno tune. you would lose allot of oil pressure if your cam bearings were bad so if you have good oil pressure dont worry about that. That cam is a good choice and im putting that in a guys car right now. I know im no where near you but PM me if you ever need help!
BTW! that cam will make okay power but you will need headers to fully benifit the cam. Sure you know that too. you can even gasket match the intake and heads and take your time with it. the intake is not as big of a deal as the heads but all in all it will be a nice running street car. If you ever need a motor built give us a call..

I can't help you with shop install pricing as I can't help you as I did it myself (with the motor out of the car for a rebuild).

Every car is different, do it once and do it right. The peace of mind and results from a dyno tune can not be matched.

Another option is getting it tuned by a speed shop along with the install. Cheaper than a dyno tune, but a good tuner will be much better than a mail-order tune. With the hotcam being so common a good tuner could probably closely match his tune to an actual dyno tune.
