how much would you charge to install custom cams in a 3.0 including readjusting the valves. I'm looking to have this done and would like to know what this costs on average so I know what I'm getting into. The price is just for labor.

How much would it cost to swap springs? I have Neuspeed race's on my CL, but I dont know if I'll be able to live with them every day :/. If I brought you some sport springs and I just needed an install how much would that run?

BTW how much would that 230hp daily driver engine cost? Just curious.
