its all depends on your mechanic skills,if its your first time it will take you longer to install.i perfer the shop to install the cams and cam gears just in case something goes wrong and the blame can go to them.

You guys are comparing apples to oranges here.
First you dont know what or how they are going to do to install the cams. Are they installing head studs at the same time? Are they just installing cams? Are they having to retime the motor etc.
