I was quoted $750 for a cam swap in my Z28 once. If it was more than that in a truck, I'd be shocked, but I don't know what all is involved.

I paid $250 for my tc install, but, i was quoted anywhere from $250 to $700. It only took the dude 2hrs.

As for a cam, I was quoted somewhere between $900-$1200 for the cam, install, and dyno/street tune. This is why I don't have a cam yet. That's alot of frigging money for 30hp.

Shoot CHarris a PM about it. He lives in Bremerton and has a Radix and cam in his hummer. I believe he did it himself. CHarris is a member here.

By the way have you seen this truck around Tacoma?
