Every dealer I checked with wanted the same (1000 – 1100) for installation. Afterwards, it was massively obvious that the power had increased throughout the RPM range. The other thing I noticed was, under normal driving, gas mileage actually improved by 1 to 2 miles per gallon. I have an auto and now get 17 city and 20.5 highway.
Honestly, it’s a little too loud for me, but everyone (including the service departments I’ve been to) always comment on how good it sounds. The rockers, surprisingly enough, roughen up the idle a bit and everyone asks what kind of CAM I have.
Still, you can get more of a gain for about 1000 less with a cam/head package. It comes down to; what you’re looking for now; how much additional power it will take to keep you happy; what your future plans are; and how important it is to keep your warranty and have the option of an extended warranty.
I have a video of the sound from inside the car, and pictures of the engine bay one year+ after install (shows how well the coating holds up). Let me know if you want me to post these up.
