Cam only labor is $425 with us. It will take from open to close. We like to have the car the day before. :)
Good Luck,

joe2gaan make sure they are including upgraded valve springs and pushrods, you may also want to have them install the underdrive pulley when they have it apart. The price wallstAL was quoted is reasonable with valve train upgrades, if you are on the fence then take it from some one who did it "Go for it" :yesnod:

I think MTI charges about $500 labor on the 'vette. It's more for a 'vette than for F-bod since they have to drop the front rack to get the pulley off.

Definately get the underdrive pulley done as well while they are in there.

Don't let anyone do this w/o upgrading valve springs and push rods or you'll end up having to do it later after you bend a push rod or valve. OF course if it's a valve, you'd get to do heads! :jester
