Cost of gear cam upgrade?
 

I own a 2004 Eectra Glide, 95 inch. Power Commander,EFI, 33000 miles.
I took it to a one owner one employee performance shop for a "Andrew 26G cam install". New lifters, solid pushrods, USED but like new cam plate because he said the original was defective not allowing the oil button to work properly, (what ever that means), 2 spark plugs, Labor, one quart of Amsoil, dyno tuned......
$2200.....Did I just get the pole up the hole????
Or does this sound about right?

Have you get the work done, or this is just a quote?

done, but still at the shop. I will be picking it up Saturday.

That what I've thought!
The price is not important any more.
Just enjoy the bike.

As long as everything is right with the bike, I won't argue the price but I was wondering if this was over priced or not. I want this to be my new go to shop, but not if they are hosing me......

This was my first post and reading of this website. A lot and I mean A LOT of pricks in here. As I read other areas of the forums, I see many smartass answers to serious questions. Wanna be bad asses with no courtesy or brains.

In that case, here is my part break down into price list.

• Andrew 26G cam = ~ $650
• Stock Pushrod (4) = $25
• 2 HD spark plugs = $8
• 1 quart of oil = $11
• New lifter (2005 std electra glide) (4) = $160
• New cam plate = $367
• Dyno tune = ~ $200 - $250

Total part cost: ~ $1470
Labor = $2200 - $1470 = $730

Let's say the labor is charged $80/hr, then $730/$80 ~ +9 hours of labor.

The price is a little bit stiff, but not that bad.
Again, this is my personal opinion, and I am wrong most of the time.
I hope this help somehow. :)
BTW.: I install the cam by myself, so the above analysis is just a guess!

Thank you Jackhis. I don't feel too bad now. This guy and his shop is a top performance shop and he has built very nice racers, so maybe his expertise is worth it. I know it's something i didn't want to attempt myself.

A microcosm of the real world. Plenty of dumb-asses to be sure, but many many helpful people as well. There is simply not a better place to learn, or if you are looking for it, to get advice on everything Harley Davidson.
