Default Cam install price?

What is the "average" price to have a cam installed? Or what did you pay? Just trying to get an idea.
Thanks

Default Re: Cam install price? (C5JONNY)

I've been shoppping this around and can provide the following:

Around here (DFW) cam installs, with tuning run from a low of $1,500 to almost $2,000. With a give or take (i.e. swing $50 bucks on each itme) of $400.00 cam, $400.00 labor, $400.00 tuning, $300 misc parts = $1500 pretax

Depending on specs, you run into the higher dollars due to a changeout of retainers and pushrods...along with more tuning time.

I am interested in other's experience....

I think I paid $450 for the cam and valve package installation.
