Chris, you come to Austria to install mine heads/cam?
I´ll pay the ticket, hotel and do sightseeing with you when you´re done and you don´t charge me the laibor for the install ???? :D
Would be good deal!!!
For me for sure !! :D:D

Damn, that's a good deal.. Wish I could find someone in my area that could give me that kind of a price on installation...

joe2gaan make sure they are including upgraded valve springs and pushrods, you may also want to have them install the underdrive pulley when they have it apart. The price wallstAL was quoted is reasonable with valve train upgrades, if you are on the fence then take it from some one who did it "Go for it" :yesnod:

I think MTI charges about $500 labor on the 'vette. It's more for a 'vette than for F-bod since they have to drop the front rack to get the pulley off.
Definately get the underdrive pulley done as well while they are in there.
Don't let anyone do this w/o upgrading valve springs and push rods or you'll end up having to do it later after you bend a push rod or valve. OF course if it's a valve, you'd get to do heads! :jester
