Cam Install Price

Mighty Stang · November 15th, 2011, 10:39 PM

What are people paying for labor for cams installed with springs. Just wondering if its worth my money to buy one in a couple weeks and have it installed in springs. I'm looking at comp cams stage 2

Can't help you here, looking for the same answer. subbed.

cschoening09 · November 15th, 2011, 10:51 PM

think anywhere between 800 and 1000 labor.thats what ive heard

Mighty Stang · November 15th, 2011, 10:56 PM

oh ouch, plus a 350 dollar dyno tune

bandity2k00 · November 15th, 2011, 10:58 PM

I do em 500 no springs. Springs are a pain and not worth the stress for money lol but i do cam and springs for 800 labor

blownstang · November 15th, 2011, 11:18 PM

Here it's $900-$1100. First time tunes are $450-$500. Future tunes are $200.

Mighty Stang · November 15th, 2011, 11:25 PM

hahha that doesn't even sound worth it, 2k for cams.... ouch

dbmustanggt · November 15th, 2011, 11:25 PM

Aps told me 850 for spring n cams if I remember right if that helps

moosenuk17 · November 15th, 2011, 11:46 PM

to bad yhou live so far away man,id do it for a 30 pack and someone to bullshit with lol

Nitmare67 · November 15th, 2011, 11:48 PM

If your getting them installed dont bother. The price of cams and install isnt worth the HP gain. If you do it yourself its worth it but not if you have it installed. Cams are easy to install though. Tackle it yourself!!!

I wouldnt lol.

Friends arnt worth a cam install in one of these LOL

But nah its anywere from 900-1200 + dyno tune. Its expensive

Cabikejumper · November 16th, 2011, 12:29 AM

Some tuners do package deals. I can get cams, install, dyno all for 1500.00 Retunes for 75

And gears for 555 installed with rebuild, cleaning, speedo correction.

0949er · November 16th, 2011, 12:49 AM

my buddy just got out the door for $800 (that is labor + tune, not including parts). That is a bomb deal if you ask me.

Nitmare67 · November 16th, 2011, 02:07 AM

800 is a bomb deal? Its a super easy job than I can do in about 4-6 hours. The retune takes about 30 minutes to an hour. So figure 7 hours. Thats over 100 dollars an hour....I've installed cams in N/A cars for 250 bucks including degreeing them and checking PTV. But most people run the same cams or very similar so it makes it pretty easy when you know from the start where to set them up on the gears to get them close instead of adjusting them 3 or 4 different times.

bandity2k00 · November 16th, 2011, 10:15 AM

800s a steal dude. You nuts for stripping motor down in front and installing and degreeing cams.for 250. Maybe its all.its worth to you but its the market. A dyno tune here is 650 if nothing goes wrong. We know that a tune should.only be like 200. 100 a hour..but everyone needs so they can ask whatevee.whatever. my tune was 1100 motor leaned out and i had to go.home and change pump and.come back next day and he charged me again cause he had to re strap it and hook it all up again.

zinc-vert02 · November 16th, 2011, 10:39 AM

how bad is 3v cam install?

2VSouth · November 16th, 2011, 11:38 AM

Free. It's not hard to do really. Me and a buddy did his cams in about 6 1/2 hours our first time doing it. Granted that's minus springs but unless youre gonna use a high lift cam, they aren't necessary.

bandity2k00 · November 16th, 2011, 11:56 AM

I dont recommened alot of people to do springs themself that arent expierenced. After you get started and hit the hard ones you cant get retainer clips on then your screwed and you need a calm temper..or some pot lol

moosenuk17 · November 16th, 2011, 12:44 PM

the cam install is easy, i would recommend tat you pull the motor up and out a bit so you can get back there, its easy to puull the engine, and makes it a whole lot easier to put the cams in aswell, and a lot easier to do headers

bandity2k00 · November 16th, 2011, 12:54 PM

Not many have tools to degree or understand the concept. But i recomend rookies paying or watching first. Seen many bent valve threads lol..but if you use hp cams its gravy. Takes 1.5 hrs w/o springs
