Cam & spring installs tend to go for $450 around here.

$150ish?

figured it would be more like $225 or so.

I'm in Gastonia, North Carolina which is about 15 miles south of Charlotte, down I-85.

Thanks

Well Sroach, aren't you special? That's a good situation to be in, wish I could do the same but with my big fat hands, doing valve springs are out of the question.
