Who the fuck wants a Magnacharger? Oh, no one? I thought so.
LS2 timing chain and ported LS6 oil pump are not cam install items, they are things that some people like to replace when they have their timing cover off.
Necessary cam install parts:texas-speed.com texas-speed.com texas-speed.com (OPTIONAL)
OR
All of the above as a package for $589 with a single beehive spring or $689 for a PRC doubles INCLUDING PUSHRODS @ texas-speed.com
Other parts needed for install:shopfbparts.com shopfbparts.com
Completely and totally optional parts:shopfbparts.com texas-speed.com
Install - Well, I could swap a cam in my sleep… ask h0twh3els, dude never did internal engine work before and he did a cam swap on an LSx. All you need is a decent metric tool set (8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm & 24mm IIRC), a 3 arm puller (rent from Advance Auto) and an LSx valve spring tool ($15 from a guy on LS1tech). I can’t see someone charging over $300 for this.
Tune - This varies. I tune my own cars so for me it was the cost of HP tuners 6 years ago… we’re looking at $125 to $500+ depending on when/where you get tuned though.
You are forgetting that the same applies to the BMW, except its far more expensive and you CAN’T get a good tune. They make a “chip” for it, but its for stock internals.
there are other great places for these products at similar pricing that are just as good if not better for custom cams for the LS1/2.
as for the install and pricing you stated though it’s all dead on with the LSx …
also, an oil pump and timing chain specifically an oil pump is highly recommended with this platform and there is no reason if you can do it that you souldn’t to prevent any issues down the road.
