Yep its a Xcal2. So not the 2000-4000k range? Anything below it works just fine.

Damn, that price isn't too bad for the install. I think I might give Lidio at Alternative Auto a call and see how much he'll charge for the install. I was expecting around $1000 for the install alone.

I think price with cams and labor, will be typically $1200 - $1500 depending where you go.

Compared to pulling the motor, removing the valve springs, all that labor totaling around $2000, yeah this is a much better deal.

No, I thought just the labor would be ~$1000.

That's typically closer to the price of cams that need springs. NSR cams installs are supposed to be half that. Except for the shop I mentioned.

Oh well. It'll be fun installing these myself w/ the help of my mechanic uncle.
