Question Labor hrs for HC install?

For those that have had a package installed - was it a flat rate or by the hr?
How many labor hrs are reasonable for a heads cam swap on an LS1 vette?

6 hrs to get the heads off maybe is accurate for book time.
I believe book is closer to 18 hrs and the swap normally runs 1000 - 1500
