looking to get a good cam, including install at a shop and tune what would the pricerange im looking at be?

 

need some truck info, engine, year, etc...

 

my bad

its a 2004 dodge ram with the 5.7l hemi. 2 wheel drive. quad cab short bed.

do you need any more info other than that?

 

its so hard to guess the costs of these kinds of jobs. Your best bet is to find a performance shop in the area willing to do it and have them give you a quote. shop around. When you get the quote, post your results. For the cam (and rods/retainers/lifters/valves) plus custom tune and install you're probably lookin in the $1500-$2000 range. Its certainly not cheap.

Dont know what kind of mods you already have, but a cam swap isnt gonna be near as effective without already having a CAI, headers, free flowing exhaust, etc. Good luck.

 

Best price I got for install is $550. I don't think that I am going to find anything lower than that and I have looked for a while.

 

$550 is VERY MUCH on the low side. 'Teach, if the guy is decent, you found your man!

To the OP:
Figure closer to $800 for the install. About $400 for the Cam itself. You can go the 6.1 springs/retainers/rods route and prolly be around $100 or do the Manley or Comp springs/titanium retainers/rods route and be closer to $350.
Tuner that can hold a custom tune would be about $500 more and the custom tune itself maybe a couple hundred.
So, I'm thinking a fair estimate would be about $2000-2500 depending on options and labor costs...

 

Believe me, I know it is a good price. He has good word of mouth from the people who have gone to him, so he is 100% the guy I am going to.

 

Teach is that a local shop or a chain? Thats an incredible price! Where in PA is that?

 

It's a local guy down in Delaware. He has a really good rep, nothing but positive reviews.

 

Teach's guy is top notch. He did my cam and he is one of the only people I would let work on my truck.
