Just get the cams - they are like $550 and only a $150-200 to install. I don't know where you got the whole $2k price tag. You also don't need cam gears unless you have a specific reason you want to install them.

The cams and dyno tune will have to be enough for this round, next round will be the 10.5 hotside, AMS LICP, megan o2, and megan manifold.
Good choice. Btw, that's AMS, not AMS tuning, in case you got confused. The AMS in Chicago has the badass 9.4s Evo. AMSTuning in MD is a cool shop that does great Evo work, but they don't race or tune.
Just be sure not to get your hopes up with the whole 350whp/400whp thing. 350whp is not normal on pump gas for an 8 even after adding all those other mods. Then, 400whp is very, very difficult to achieve with a flash. It is extremely rare, so don't be disappointed if you end up with 330-340 on pump and 370-380 on meth. That's still very powerful...
