Default How many Hours to do these installs?

Hey,

Just wondering how many hours(estimate) it would take to install all of these parts.

228/232 Cam
Sub Frame Connectors (Bolt - in )
Tq Arm (Bolt)
Rear Lower Control Arms
Borla Exhaust


Thanks

there's relatively no way to judge this. I'd say at least 20-30 ??

Just a guess

Considering you have the tools and the basic know how (it's NOT going to go as smooth as the instructions say). This would be my guess.

Cam - Assuming springs, push rods, oil pump and chain etc.. (8 hrs)
Subs - 1 hr
TA - 2 hr
LCA - 1 hr
Exhaust - 3 hrs (the positioning and tweaking takes time)

Say 15-16 give or take a few.
