I suppose the title says it all, but roughly how many hours of labor should I be willing to pay for on a camshaft install?

 

allow about 3 hours for a qualified mechanic......... for yourself... I guess anything above that

 

^ as Christine mentioned. Mine would've taken that long, but he had so many other cars he was working on.

Just make sure you book the mechanic on a day that suits both of you!

 

if you buy the camshaft and say the rrm piggy back would the cam do anything or do you have to get it tuned for the cam to do much

 

if you want better results, tune

 

would it be worth buying the cam if i just have a cold air, header and downpipe, and a piggyback? i dotn want to buy it and find out its a waste

 

Personally speaking, it'll be worth it. The only thing I would want to add is that you'll probably need a CBE but not limited to. The only reason I say to get the CBE is because with the cam, you'll benefit from opening up the exhaust. Especially when you get that piggy tuned

RRM's - 10-15whp. Goto their website, some member with very similar modifications as yours gained 10whp and 15 ft lbs of torque. Now, that isn't a waste!
