i know i should just do the secret cam swap myself, but im clueless when it comes to that kinda stuff.....

any idea how much it would be to get it done by someone?

[Oldsman]

if you are clueless then i suggest don't do it yourself.

i think a shop to do it it is like 6-7 hours @ whatever rate they charge.

added note for you: average rate is usually about $75/hour. so 6 hours will be about $500

for cams? holy eff...me and my gm mech friend did both in 4 hours including beer breaks

i believe in the manual in which they figure job costs and crap it is like a 6-7 hour job.

it can be done faster. mine took from jan to april but that also included top half of motor among other things

[ptrudel]

ya, but from jan to april you did LOTS more then just cams lol

i'm thinking of asking my next door neighbor who has been working with GM cars almost all of his life if he could help me sometime....

I have to search for both cams in a junkyard first before i start thinking of anything.....

how much hp is gained with this secret swap? isn't it like 10-15 or something like that?

[Oldsman]

that is correct 10-15 hp with stock head. a mild p&p job with cams has dynoed 20-25 to the ground gain.

mmm sounds tastey... i just might have to start looking for cams soon, and start understanding how to change them
