Cam installation
Hi All,
I am ready to order a cam kit from LG Motorsports for my 2007 Z06. I live in British Columbia, Canada. Anyone know anyone up this way that does this kind of install? I am being told it will 30-40 hours worth of work which is like $4,600.00. Is this normal? Thanks! |
Definitely not normal, not that high at all.
I called a few shops down in FL and was told about 7-8 hours total drive in/drive out time. |
The shop that did my install billed me for 9 - 10 hours. Have they ever installed a cam in an LS7 before???
|
please, do not take it to that shop.......clearly they have never done a cam. Don't !!!
|
Thanks for the heads up. Did 9-10 hours include the kit; valve springs, push rods, etc.? I doubt they have done a LS7 cam before. It is a GM dealership I called. We don't have any real performance shops here. They all want to bill you what the "book" says.
|
Yes, that was with the springs and most would reuse the stock rods (without measuring, so I dont agree with that part, but it doesnt take long to measure... i just dont know how to do it the right way. I dont know how to get the preload bit)

It sucks living where their are no competent performance shops.
|
ship the car out then, spend a thousand for a 2 way trip or 20 thousand for a motor. take your choice.
|
I could drive it down to Washington or even Oregon. Any good shops in either?

Yes, I could have it in Seattle in 5 hours from my house. 2 of those is sitting on a ferry.
|
|
Real nice, what did they charge you for that? What was the actual shops name that did the work?
|
Ask LG if they know of any competent places in your area that can do it and not rip you.

My car is the orange Z06. |
I can vouch for Tom Wong's Performance in Vancouver, he has my car currently and he has been great to work with. Well worth the effort and he is 3 hours from me.
