Question Install times -- please post

I am very interested in knowing how much time people are charged for their mod installs. I'm more curious about those who had it installed by a certified technician at a shop vice a DIY.

The mods are:

- Headers

- Flywheel

- Camshafts


Also, is there any times savings with a combination install, say headers and flywheel at the same time?

I'd like to hear particularly from vendors who install parts. Jeff @ performancenissan, it'd be cool to hear your input.

I'm certain this would be invaluable info for the budget minded 350Z consumer. Thanks.

Default Flywheel-clutch installation

Rocky at Performance Nissan did my Nismo flywheel and Nismo clutch installation. The two together took him 3.5 hours, and that included a ten to fifteen minute stint under the car with me, showing me the parts side by side to show where they were different and what those differences were meant to achieve, and describing what the sound and performance differences would be and what to look for etc.
Very good experience there.

Default Instal times

ATI Procharger. 24 hours. (No way is it 8 to 10 hours, unless you have done it a lot of times and set yourself up to do it a bunch more.)

Headers. 5 hours. (not much room to work with, gentlemen)

Anything special about the header installs? Any unusual tools? What extra needs to come out to make room (besides air intake).
Thanks.
