Re: HOW MUCH FOR CAM INSTALL?$$$$$$ (THEMONEYPIT)
Not hard to do yourself.. I've done several.. Time consuming YES, difficult, NO.
Cam install prices seem to vary.. MTI charges $450 I think..
Go for the DIY install..

I paid $450 for mine. I didn't do any programing but I think the guys with the more aggressive cams have to.
