Default Labor charge for H/C install?

What is a fair/typical labor (only) charge to install a head/cam package?

I think your looking at about $1,100-1,200 dollars,plus a tune

That's my best guess

At "LEAST" $1000.00 and then you will be having to have it tuned by the Dyno Tuner!

it should all come in a package deal at an estimate of $3200.00 to $4000.00 depending on what you get and the specific parts (I.E- Head bolts or Head studs, stock thickness gaskets or custom, stock RR's or After market RR's etc.)

But when your done you'll love it!

Thanks,Matt

Has you Dyno been recalibated latley? PM me so I can get a good pull. You installed my LTH,Hi Flo cats,X-pipe, PTB, plugs and wires but the dyno did not give us the correct numbers and was told that it needed recalibration. I also want a H/C install so quote me also. It is just a street stomper not a drag car but I want a little more power and a nice cam lope.

Yes the Dyno has been recalibrated & working great! We just finished a cam only C6 that ended up with 436 RWHP!

If you can call JP: 813-628-0080 to go over the right heads/cam package for you.

I can't believe a cam picked up 100 rwhp

He already had long-tubes & Calloway Honker on it, but we are not the only one with these results from the LS2 motors, and our dyno is very conservative.

In post #8 it says it was a cam only C6, so that's what I thought. I wasn't questioning your dyno numbers, it just seemed alot for cam only.
