Uhh dur. What were you thinking? :)

GM shop times are 8.5hrs for warranty work and 13.6hrs for standard work. Assume $60/hr and you're looking at $510-816. As I think I stated when this all started awhile back, look to spend right around $1000 to do a cam. Yet people just didn't believe me...

I believe ya, First thing I did was look up the times to change a cam in alldata. Not many people will do a cam simply for the fact of cost.

Many think it is only $380 for a cam Wow, then they don't know how to install it so there is another $800 then you need new lifters, gaskets, lubricants to install, ect. so add another $200+ then well the heads will be off you know I might as well do some head work and **** I might as well go stage 2. so you add another $1000 for heads. Personally I think that a Retune is a must with the stage 2 cam so that in itself is even more $$$$$
I personally see a stage 2 setup if installed by a shop to cost atleast $2500 all said and done with parts and labor.

$60/hr?!?!?!? Where's that dealership? I don't think there's one in my area that charges less than $80/hr. Hell, I work at Sears, and we charge $70. lol

Well, there you go. I was just quoting what a shop charged me last month to replace the heater core in my Blazer. I wouldn't be suprised if most are higher than that.

where i work its 58$/Hr Canadian... Good Ole Canada

Chevy dealership in Albany is $60/hour

the standard is 60$ per hour....thats generally what they go buy when doing warranty/insurance work

heads don't have to come off to do a cam :)

these are just ballpark prices right now, but we will be charging ...

upper and lower intakes install - 200

cylinder heads - 350

camshaft - 400

camshaft and heads - 500

i think that's pretty fair, what do you guys think?

i like that head and cam pack 500 bucks :)

Heck yea, I'll take a road trip to Ohio for that price!

I got my cam in yesterday and it looks nice, for yall that dont know Milzy is a great guy spent a spring break with him working on my char. Probly gonna end up going back up thier this summer get heads/cam and some headers isntalled hes a great guy.

^werd. He even saved me some dough and let me crash at his place. :icyhot:

well it's in and it runs. I'll let Tim post about what he thinks :molson:

So then the new sensor works on the older PCMs without causing any problems or codes? If so, then that's good to know...
