Cam Install?

beastGT · August 28th, 2008, 02:35 PM

I went to a shop here in northern virginia and was quoted for $600 for the comp nsr cam install and $400 for long tube headers. The headers price is fine but 600 for cams? I thought it would be the other way around, is this a fair price or is it too high?

leebunnyz · August 28th, 2008, 02:36 PM

do they know that they're NSR cams?

beastGT · August 28th, 2008, 02:41 PM

yep they even asked and i told them they were the nsr... its excessive motorsports for anybody who wants to know. They have a good rep just thought the price was kinda high

sometimes ou get what you pay for..

where in VA? like alexandria or winchester area? I'm just south of Richmond if you want to tackle it on your own and save a grand. Just an offer because I like helping fellow stangers

tribaltek · August 28th, 2008, 02:57 PM

I think I paid $440 for my NSR cam install. I was quoted as high as $1500 by MRT.

beastGT · August 28th, 2008, 03:04 PM

qwik48r · August 28th, 2008, 03:09 PM

SUHLeen · August 28th, 2008, 04:04 PM

I'm getting my cams, phasers, retainers, and valve springs done for $250

But you def. can't beat qwik48r's Offer!

usafimj · August 28th, 2008, 08:40 PM

68351w · August 28th, 2008, 11:12 PM

I'd drive to qwik's house, park the car in the garage, go inside and eat and drink beer while he does the install. when he finishes give him a $20 tip and go back home. J/k

qwik48r · August 28th, 2008, 11:15 PM
