I think the engineers expected people to put in new cams.

Don't see how they can, unless they are put in wrong. I have had my TR 224/224 cam in for about a year, no problems(knock on wood).

Cost varies, but cams usually go for $350-$400, with other parts (springs/rods) adding up to an additional $400ish depending on the setup. Install will be based per shop, but I'm assuming in the $500 range, then add dyno tuning, again, per shop and you got yourself 30-60rwhp more
