$2000 for headers, $4 to 500 for intake, $700 for cam + springs, $500 for tune. Rest for labor. Sounds about right to me.

Kenny,

I highly recommend you check with Jason at Late Model Racecraft, LMR, in Houston. My car is there right now.

I live near Tampa, FL and I ended up shipping her all the way to Houston to find a shop that provided high quality, impeccable work.

Count yourself blessed. Houston area has great resources for Corvette work.

Thing about Jason and LMR is that he is very good at communication.

Jason returns contacts me much more than I contact him. First, I don't want to interrupt the shop with my phone calls.

Second, and most important, Jason, or Steven, contact me with any questions, observations, etc.

Finally, Steven is one of the best tuners in the country and you will need to make sure you get a good calibration after your modifications.

Have fun!

East Coast Supercharger's has had a slightly used supercharger with all new hardware and shipping for sale for the last couple days for $4,200.Installed you wouldn't be much over that $5,000.
