I am wondering how long a cam would take and Its for sure you need a tune after?

 

[707GTOLS2]

depends If you were to do it yourself (knowing what you were Doing)
or taking it to a shop to get it done

If I remember GTODEALER Got it down to 4hrs. on an install
am I right Steve?

ahem ahem Steve did say He would install it for free didn't you Steve? You just had to bring it to him

So a pontiac dealer could do it in about 4 hrs you know how much a dealer labor usally is?

 

[707GTOLS2]

ohh I meant our supporting Dealer Rep. Steve = GTODEALER

 

[GTODEALER]

Yes, it takes around 4 hours, (my record time is 4 hrs and 12 minutes), it's taken me as long as 13 hours (dropped a bolt in the oil pan, not a good day). Your average shop charges around $450, if you bring it to me (personally) I would do it for free, but, I'm about 10 vehicles backed up at home.:cheers

Slacker...

lol...

I'm gonna say a normal shop is going to charge you 8-10 hours to install a cam. At $75-100 an hour you can do the math. IMO

Yes you need a tune after.

You should goto the Video section and find the post on "How Fatbitch Broke"
you could here Steve's GOAT with a fresh new cam without a tune yet

Awesome...but I never understood the broke part. You broke something after the cam install? Anyway, looked and sounded great.

I broke a lot of things before and after the cam install, that was just a "spy video" of why my car broke all the time.:lol: I miss that blue, sexy b*tch.

You went all out, it appears. I don't want to break things, but I also don't want to build that kind of power either. Still a *maybe* on the heads, a cam and LTs for sure, probably an optimized TB...and a tune, of course. Some other minor upgrades along the way.

b.t.w. Somebody mentioned a clutch upgrade - maybe it was you - it was the LS7 factory unit???

 

[GTODEALER]

LS7 factory unit is awesome, it doesn't slip till around 530 rwhp (I think, maybe a little less) and it's got the stock "feel".
