Cam install - Local shops

I'm looking at installing a cam in the next week or two. Anyone have any experience with RPM or 21st Century? I'm still considering LG but I can't justify $300 - $400 difference for the same job. So any info on the other two shops positive or negative please post up.. Also, another thing that could affect my decision is the camshafts. My current mods are in my sig. and plan on doing a set of heads by the end of the year. The cam choices would be..

LG - G5X2 - 232/240 .595/.608
RPM - RPM5 - 232/236 .595/.601
21MC - - 234/240 .598/.608 (I believe these are the lift #'s)

All probably on a 112 LSA..

Any opinions on these camshafts would be helpful. From what I understand none of these camshafts will require flycutting. Oh and by the way I will be switching to the Patriot duals and an LS2 timing set.

Thanks for any help..

the lg cam is the best cam for overall power in the curve of your choices...

As far as labor goes...some individuals charge $500 for vettes and then shops charge in acess of $1000 for the labor...

Just go with who you are comfortable with after visiting and speaking with every shop...

My vote goes to none of the above options though. Daniel, Billy and Scott over at SQR (sponsors on here as well) will give you the quality service you deserve as well as a tune that is unsurpassed. Ive driven cars from just about every shop when I do work on them...and SQR tunes stand out above them all. Its not a 4 hour rush job...He takes his time and does it right over there.

While this is true I have to add that I just had SQR install a Nitrous kit on my car and Scott adjusted the timing on my tune for the N2O A tune that RPM did. Both Scott and Daniel at SQR were very Impressed with the depth at which the tuner (Brian) goes into. So with that being said both are great choices for quality work...P.S even Hutto (v6 Bird) gets a prop here for his great welding skills...
