I wsh bro..lol I would love to have that.. But the reasoning for just another gt is because of money..
I don't way to be makeing payments for a long time ..and here's the worst part of it... Yesterday I went to a dealership just to look at some cars not to buy but just looking and I got approved for a 2011 Shelby ...i almost cryer cause I couldn't afford it...lol

As far as the cost of cams, I would say to figure around $1400 to $1500 which includes the new tune. Cams are a sweet mod, but the cost is up there a little. Depending upon your other supporting mods, you might gain ~35rwhp, but the new sound alone is almost worth the cost.
I tend to agree with STRIDER... if you are asking about cost for mods on a GT you don't own yet, I would save a little longer and start with a 4V Mach1.

i installed mine on my own. It still costed me $1200. But that was new gaskets for the valve covers, and getting my car tuned which costed me $600. I only went stage one's, i regret it i deffinetly should of done stage 2

Don't regret it...There are lots of people who think the VT1s are in many ways better than the VT2s overall. In fact I think Nick McKinney once said the VT1s have near perfect specs for an otherwise totally stock PI 2V. You also have a much safer PTV clearance...

Yea i mean stage 1s are great for stock head/nearly stock gts. But if you jump into upgraded heads then you'll want bigger cams to take advange of that newfound airflow.
Cams are a costly upgrade though. thats for sure. Sweet...but costly
