can you guys tell me how much labor would run me for a heads and cam install on my 97 WS6.thanks

That depends on the shop and location. You'll just have to ask your local shop.

I was quoted for a headers install for $500 if that gives you any indication about the H/C. With H/C, there's a lot more work and detail in the installation. My guess would be $800-$1500.

I know a guy who wants to sell me his AFR heads and i would buy my cam from Thunder Racing. i really havent looked into it too much. i want to see how much labor would be before i thought about buying the parts

i would say send them to a porter and have them worked over. afr's for lt1's don't flow that great out of the box (i had a set of afr 190's) then have a cam cut to match the head flow numbers. if you are going to do this you might aswell do it right the first time.

i was wondering if i just got a cam installed for now if it would be a bad idea. and how much i would gain from it. im pretty tight on cash for the next 3 months

if your only gonna be tight on cash for 3 months, just wait. its not worth buying a cam when you gonna do head work and need to change again. thats taking 1 step forward and then going back 2.
