I paid $350 for cam, springs, oil pump, timing chain, and pushrods.
It was going to be done in one day but there was a problem with the timing cover plus it was better in my situation to get a better tune by taking two days and allowing a cold start.

Just make sure and do a lot of research on it and get someone to help you who has done it before. Just my .02
I wouldnt want to mess up my own car. At a shop they are professionals. I would do it on a car that isn't going to be used anymore or something to practice on, but not on my own. Just not me.
www.ls1howto.com it gives dam good instructions, never worked on my car, and found myself done in like a day and a half. Get some friends and some beer and let the good times roll.
Its not a hard job at all.
All told, the hardest part is the valve springs(small spaces, spall locks, and big hands don't mix well!)
Give it a try if you've got a weekend to mess with it, you'll be suprised how easy it is!
