If you can make it to central FL. $165 is the limited pricing we charge for cams install and 1.5hrs to do the cams. There are combination discounts as well for adj gears and headstuds. I have done all three in about 1hr 40min. Anyone would tell you we are also very meticulous and Evo specific. Hell, our car is a 2005 MR

What part of FL are you in? I'd agree with TTP, RIDE of Daytona did my cams/gears for 150-175. they also installed other things, but thats what they had listed on the worksheet.
I'm sure everyone else will agree, take your car to a shop that exclusively works on Evos. If they have only worked on a few Evos, I would recommend you going somewhere else. I'm in that situation, I drive 2 hrs to go to daytona when I was getting my work done.

I did take it to TTP and after meeting Scott and John, I cant say enough good things about them. Scott installed it in three hours and was very meticulous in his approach.

[QUOTE=evorr].....how long did the install take. Vishnu's site states 4 hours. A local shop says 8 hours.
Eight hours is way to high for cam and cam gears. Seems like your paying the shop to learn how to do the install.
paid $350 for mine

I took me about a day just to put cam gears on the factory cams. I would have been done in about an hour and a half, if the damn bolt in exhaust cam didn't decided to round off because it was ridicously over torqued from the factory. I then had to pull the cam, take it to work, mill the head of the bolt off, and find a replacement bolt.
They shouldn't have that problem since you can put the gears on the new cams and just pull out the old cams and slide in the new. I'm thinking 3 hrs max.

You need a particularly long ratchet to break it loose. It takes sometimes over 100ft-lbs of torque to break them loose but only 75ft-lbs to set. Doing as many installations as we do has us look at cam jobs as a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get. Some are harder than others.
