I dont know what they charge but if i were you i would just get some CMS stage 1's and do it myself. Being that you have a 2000 you will need to buy cam gears to, I have some if you need em. Its a pretty simple job. I did Comp Cam 270's and pulled the heads to do the valve springs that will make everything alot more time consuming.

Do it yourself or save for fi would be my opinion. By the time you buy the cams, springs, gears (if needed), the cam gear bolts and crank bolt, any gaskets you may need to or decide to replace along the way, plus labor it wouldnt be much more to go fi. Install isnt hard.

to get cams and valvesprings installed its going to be about 1000 bucks. not money well spent if you ask me.

you can adjust it with a programmer to where it will run ok... but you need a dyno so you can actually get your power adjusted right.. you can run cams untuned they just run like complete shit... you need to know where you air/fuel is at if you play with the programmer

Cam gear bolts and crank bolt is needed since theyre TTY. The gears,spacers, and washers are needed unless youve got a romeo engine.
