Default cost of cam/valvespring swap?

I did a swap for a buddy this weekend in my garage, and i was jsut curious what it would of cost him had he gone to a shop. i swapped his cam out and replace all the valve springs obviously while in the car. Any ideas on what shops usually charge? I did a new oil pump and pulley and such but i realize thats not "added costs" because they have to come off anyways, but i figured mabye shops would charge labor for thoes parts regardless. just curious, any numbers would be appreciated! thanks!

around 600. I did my own though and I would say that 600 is worth it too..... But I'll never pay to have it done. (I turn my own wrenches)
