you asked for it

keep in mind, the price for the cam install includes having to buy new heads, head gaskets, and bolts because my heads on my original motor were discovered to be bad. Also, the miscellaneous includes labor chargers for help I needed to keep things moving. I still have to pay for exhaust and some fine tuning next week. It's sickening looking at the numbers, but maybe this will give someone a real picture of what can go wrong and prepare them for it. There is easily $2500 that could be removed from this if I hadn't swapped cams. Ok, enough excuses, lol!
