chupr0kabra PM'd me and I responded I haven't checked this post in a while. I do installes out of my garage (35x45) it is not my full time job I have lots of experience and done everything with the exception of building a LS1 stroker motor. I have a DBA under the name HI-tech Builders. I have been working on cars since I was 8 or 9. And have not stopped LOL! Let me know if I can help you out. Ask me anything I probably know the anwser and if I don't I can find out real quick for you.

When I do cam changes I usually charge $175. Although I do have the owner supply all gaskets and fluids. But I believe it's still a fair price. By myself it still takes me about 8 hours or so to do a complete cam and valvetrain swap. However I do not have a lift or any power tools of any sort.
Although if the owner is willing to actually get their hands dirty and help then I just have them buy food and drinks while we are working. Then a descent little dinner afterwards.
