cam install price

I live in the chicagoland area and i am planning getting some cams, gears and headstuds installed and i was wondering where in the chicago land area did you get your cams installed and how much did you pay for the install.

You guys can go dyno at PW first

I need head studs done but might be looking to do it myself since the labor cost will be more then the studs.

Eric quoted me $350 for cams, cam gears, and headstuds at AMS. I decided to save some money and installed them with a few buddies. It took a little while, but definitely worth it. I know the head mechanic Tim over at AMS and they do awesome work, so if u want a quality install, take it to AMS.
