Everything else came out to another $3200 bringing the total for the work and tax to $5900. The same shop quoted me $12100 for a 600HP package that includes engine removal, cams, heads, headers and tuning.
Is $6000 fair for headers, flex fuel and tune and parts/supplies? I have the quote below.
2260H430 1.00 2761.00 KOOKS 1 7/8 HEADERS WITH GREEN CATS 2016-UP CAMARO
33829 1.00 137.99 MSD WIRESET LT1 14+

DSXFLEX 1.00 375.00 DSX FLEX FUEL KIT- '16+ CAMARO SS
LABOR 4.50 607.50 Install Headers and connections
LABOR 2.00 270.00 Install Flex Fuel kit
LABOR 1.00 850.00 Dyno tune (E85)
6452 2.00 184.00 VP C-85 5 GALLON
1.00 266.00 Supplies
5972.84 Total with tax
Kooks headers are great headers are great, and that is a huge cost. If I could find something for half that cost and get them ceramic coated, I would maybe be happier. What is the difference between the green cats and high flow cats? Are the green cats just what Kooks calls the high flow cats? I could knock off another $270 and install flex fuel myself but I think they have a 12000 mile 1 year warranty if they install everything. What are the thoughts here? TIA.

Dang! Considering you can get an lt4, edelbrock or procharger for close to that amount on a stock car but so much more hp is crazy. Headers alone are worth only what 20 whp?
