Need some help with price quotes that i got on head and cam package.
I went to Cartek today, and for the most part i liked what i had heard. Seem like they are very professional with everything and they work on a lot of cars at one time. Many 9 second vettes, camaros and GTOs. Anywho, I got some pricing. I personally think its a little too high for the engine components.
Stage 2 heards, includes full porting heads intake, exhaust, and combustion chamber, new custom stainless valves, 2.02 intake, 1.57 exhaust, seals, custom dual springs, spring seats seals, titanium retainers, cleaned and assembles. 2,350.00 .
Stage 2 Cam 399.00
rollmaster roller timing chain 160.00
z06 oil pump. for rollmaster 130.00
cromoly hardened push rods 130.00
30# injectors 250.00
Misc, parts, gaskets, blts, fluids, etc2 45.00
High flow 160 degree thermostat 59.96
ECU Reprogram 550.00
labor to install 1200.00
Kooks stainless steel headers 1 3/4 long tube 864.90
3 in y pipe with igh flow cats 575.00
=6,913.86 in total.
He says this alone would drop me to about the mid 11 second mark.
I mean i trust him completely, but for that money i can get this from speed inc.com

Re: Need some help with price quotes that i got on head and cam package.
true you can get that engine, but then you'd have to spend the money on the the injectors, headers and Ypipe.
so tack another $1700 on to the $7500
i would knock the price of the h/c down by going with a more budget header/ypipe setup.
do you really need the cats? depending on the cam you won't pass anyway.
i got my headers and ypipe and all the hardware for under $600 total.
the heads seem a bit pricey. what kind of flow numbers are they? you can get ported LS6 heads from TSP for $900, or 5.3L heads for about $1500.
