Head and cam more expensive than I thought! - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

About a year ago I installed LT4 hotcam, headers, bolt ons etc. Car makes 330 at the wheels, but feels a bit slow. So a couple of months ago I decided to go with lloyd elliot LE2 heads and cam to make about 400 at the wheels. 1600 for heads and cam not too bad. But adding up all the parts, man it was a lot more. Just bought the stuff today, I'm in for about 3500!

Valvetrain parts, gaskets etc.
