Default How much for these mods installed?

So far I've got the granatelli catback on the car, and come spring the vararam will be added. I may then go with some headers. After that I am going to be looking into a cam + extras and also a 100 wet shot of nitrous (NX). Anyways, I talked to the guys at ECS and they're giving me mixed numbers so I am starting to get confused. I basically want the cam, pushrods, oil pump, LS2 timing chain???(good idea, or double roller) and all the rest to make the swap safe. I also want the spray installed with the purge kit, WOT switch, window switch, bottle heater, etc etc. How much would I be roughly looking at for all of that installed? I am very close to ECS and from what I hear these guys are pretty much the best. Anyone have any ideas?

Your fortunate to be close to ECS, they are one of the best

You can probably ballpark 2k average for a cam swap installed

500-1k (can be alot more) for the nitrous kit, depending on what type and what extras you buy, dont scrimp on safety equipment. Labor for the nitrous install is gonna once again depend on what extras you get.

Add in probably 4-500 for tuning, these are what id consider average prices, not quoting what we would charge, and most certainly not trying to say what ECS would charge.
