For cam install?

I just bought a set (of cams), and was wondering what people generally paid.

Cheers

Shop rates are going to be different from place to place but I would guess around 3 hours shop time.

NOt sure about the shop rate, but it's definitely something you cna tackle yourself. Not very difficult at all if you cna follow instructions.

Save your money and do it yourself. Then you know it was done right....or at least who's to blame if it's not

I broke my Mitsu cam tool I feel safer pulling the front of the engine apart anyways. I was really made at myself when I broke it.

I got a pair of HKS 264's and a a set of headstuds brand new on ebay for a killer deal. I coulnd't pass it up. I don't plan on upgradeing the valvetrain, it's gonna have to due without it. $375 seems to be the going rate for everything, no interest in doing it myself. Well aware I'll need a tune afterwards.
Thanks for the replies guys, they helped.
