$700 for cams... not bad.. i got quoted $700 for the INSTALL let alone an additional $550 for the cams and valve springs.

Should be $700 for labor and if he's 'seriously' looking at 270's he'll need to the the springsand valvestoo. It wouldn't hurt to change the rockers, get adjustable cam gears, some head work, intake etc., because he's not going to get the most out of the cams with his current mod list.

Should be $700 for everything and if he's 'seriously' looking at 270's he'll need to the the springs too. It wouldn't hurt to change the rockers, get adjustable cam gears, some head work, intake etc., because he's not going to get the most out of the cams with his current mod list.
What are you talkin about??? You posted a nonsense article on another cam ad! If you don't know then don't speak(or write in this case) You don't need head work and new rocker arms adj cam gears and or new springs for that style cam to perform better than stock! What I would suggest is that if there are more than 50kmi on a car to change out the springs, stock rockers are fine. I wouldn't however reccomend a "buddy" to do the job for $200 and slap a set of cams in there without checking for lash and grinding down the valves properly! You can get the job done without tearing the front of your engine apart but it takes special tools to do so! I would highly go against adj. cam gears especially if you don't have any kind of boost! Any timing adj. that you need to make would be available in any Programmer that's out there! Cam gears are a complete waste!!!!! So isn't GSXRIntesity!..LOL
