Default Shops for cam install?

I am located in North Alabama. Looking for someone to do a swap.

Vengence wants 4900
LSxperts wants 3700
Raging Racing is 4500 and a farther drive for me

so what other shops do I need to get in touch with for quotes pricing.

If New Orleans is not too far for you I could get you in and out in 2-3 days.

I'd vote Vengeance but I'm a bit bias since that's who did mine. When pricing out make sure you're comparing apples to apples as to what all parts are involved in the build. When I was looking it was all over the place in terms of what shops thought were needed in putting in a bigger cam than others.

Looks like the days of 500.00 cam swaps are long gone

For sure. The C7 requires either the motor be pulled or the cradle be dropped since the oil pan and pump must come off and there is no clearance to get the pan off.

First mod I ever did on a car was a 2-bbl to 4-bbl swap.

Second mod was the cam. In all cases, I had to have the car back home by sundown so Dad didn't know I was screwing with it and I had to budget it under $150.

Those days are long gone on both fronts!
