Does this Hot Rod cam quote seem high?

They're not listed on their website, but if you ask for them they will get them. I've heard they've also done a lot of dyno work with them so they already have tunes specifically for the Hot Rods.

OK, I got more detail from my local shop Gear Heads, since I am planning this also. $1300.00 installed with a Dyno Tune, and he even knows the issues with the automatic cars and how to adjust for them. This is a very respected shop in the DFW area and they build their own race cars that have won several championships at the local tracks. $1800 still sounds too high.

I thought the issues with autos didn't exist if you get an actual dyno-tune rather than an internet-ordered tune. Please clarify because I plan to get my car dyno-tuned locally after installing the hot rod cams.

I guess as long as the shop doing the tune knows what they are doing. Just because it's a Dyno Tune doesn't mean that the tuner doesn't need to have the experience and expertise to write a quality tune. He just said that the Autos were a little more tricky and that he has done several and knows how to tune them properly. I would ask your shop if they have done them for Autos with no problems.
