Default Need Pricing for Head & Cam install or where to

Hello Everyone,

I live in PA just 10 minutes north of Philadelphia. I would drive up to 2 hours if I had to.

I have a 2001 Corvette that need some parts installed and a DYNO tune. I would love to know before and after dyno numbers, but not a must. I just want quality work, at reasonable price. Its winter time so now the time to have it done. If I find the prices are too high I am just going to to it myself, But it would be my first LS1 so I hope a LS1 pro will do it for a reasonable price. With all that said here is what I have to be installed. Please PM me a price if you are shop, or if you could point me to a good shop. That would be great.

2001 Corvette convertible Automatic 25k miles 180 stat, ECS mail tune, and CAI, and Corsa Axle back

Parts to be installed.
  • Comp Cam custom cam= Spec’d by Pat G
  • milled LS6 stage Heads 2 heads from PRC
  • Push rods
  • Undedrive Pulley ( has to come off mine as well replace with one that will make me hp)
  • Ls7 lifters
  • Comp Cam Torsion Mod ( I am sure I spelled that wrong)
  • Melling Oil Pump
  • New timing chain
  • I have all bolts and gaskets and fluids needed for install
  • Long tube Headers with catted x-pipe (I already have Corsa axle back)
  • Plugs and wires
  • A Tune of course.

I think that’s it.

Thanks for looking.

I checked your profile but couldn't find out where you live. Someone that might help needs to know where you are!

Your right, that was very dumb of me. Thanks for the heads up. I just edited it and out as the first line.

I would go with East Coast Supercharging. Less than an hour from Philly and proven results time and time again.

Call the shop at 609-752-0321 and discuss what you want to achieve.

County Corvette in West Chester, right off of RT. 202. 610-696-7888, ask for James Turner. They can do the work and have a dyno ready to go.

East Coast Supercharging (ECS) in Cream Ridge NJ is probably the best in the area & an easy drive from Philly.....they're like 10 minutes from Six Flags Amusement Park. Your post shows you already have one of their tunes, so why go anywhere else?

Myself and many guys from work do use them. I wanted to see what else is out there. My setup isn't extreme. So I was thinking of shopping this one around. Maybe find a new shop for the crew lol. I generally do all my own work, hence that's why i have all the parts for install, but the oil pump locked up in my turbo stang, and now i have to rebuild that thing.

What a lucky bunch we are that there are so many choices close to us.

I can vouch for both RPM in Delaware and ECS in Central NJ. Both will treat you right.

Thank you everyone for the help. I am leaning towards RPM. Fran had been great, and very quick with replying. He might even have best price, which is my driving factor here.

650 installed; I don't have a dyno, so that would be another 4-500

With all your new found power, you'll need a clutch too.

ECS did mine

We can install a clutch on his car but its going to be in the $6-8K range depending on options.

You guys might have missed it in my post. I am an Automatic, and yes the Cam was designed for a stock stall LOL. I know lame. But I was given the heads for free. So I decided to add some extra power. This isn’t my race car.

Man ECS has surprised me again. I think they just gave me a deal I can’t refuse, and since I know them and many of us here use them. They are probably going to keep me coming.

With that said, you guys think the stock A4 will be ok at this power level? anything we should do to it at the same time? Cooler?

The stock trans should be ok with just heads and cam. If you are running the stock converter you will be ok. We will use a tranny cooler as we start using bigger stall converters as they generate more heat.
