I had called around last fall and the labor costs I was quoted ranged from $750 to $1,500.

It's a great mod. Works well with stock programming on the LT4 computer. The cam is cheap compared to the install. It's a difficult install - you need to jack up the motor to get the cam in. In my case, I removed the engine to put the cam in.

Give the Vette Dr's or Cartek a call to see what they would charge for labor.
