Default What am I missing….

Folks I asked for a cam quote with supporting mods and tune for my car. I received quote back for $15K! What am I missing, this seems way overpriced to me.

yeah that's definitely high..... cam; springs; pushrods; bolts; fluid; etc. quick math would be about $1700. Maybe they're adding headers? So $2k ish for that, and only $11k in labor! Deal of a lifetime!

Do the supporting mods include a supercharger?

That’s the thing, I told them I was full bolt on with a supercharger and that’s they gave me. Cam, push rods, springs, trunion upgrade, retainers and tune…$15! I asked about swapping to a bigger head unit, sending mine off to Vortech for a trade in, reinstall and tune…. $10K! Man I got the with 80lb injectors 50MM BO valve, blacked out ….shipped to the house for about $5.5K. Installed and tuned was about another $1800. I felt like that was not the norm, even with the economy the way it is now.

Their pricing is absurd. Almost like they don't want the work so they set a crazy high price.
