Default Prices on Heads?

I'm planning on putting a cam in the car first and later doing the heads. I know it's probably cheaper to do it all at once but the bank account says different. I was just wondering what kind of prices you guys are finding on just doing the heads?

I've seen the different prices on the web sites, but I'm not smart enough to do it myself. I was looking for approximate prices w/ install.

Im not sure it is really going to be much more expensive to do the heads later, unless you need to replace all the valve springs on the stock heads for the cam you are using.

Most of the work is not duplicative.

For the heads the cold air, aternator, coil packs, valve covers, rockers, and push rods are the only parts that I can think of which need to be removed for both jobs, and that should only be about an hour of work for someone who knows what they are doing.
