I'm planning on installing nismo cams and some new headers on my 350z, does anybody have any experience in these installations, I just need to know how long it takes and how hard it is to install them.

Cams are a ***** to install. I installed a set of nismo's on my maxima before i got my Z and it was no fun. Cams took me about 12 hours and this was with working on a rack. Headers are easy as far as being a straightforward process, but it can get very annoying with trying to deal with the confined spaces. The time for headers depends on how small your hands are.

My headers took 6hrs to install and the cams took @13hrs from start to finish (it was a major PITA)

IMO if you are asking how long it takes to install cams, you probably shouldnt be trying it anyway. Take it to a reputable shop...just my 2 cents.

^That makes no sense. Cam installations are different with every car. He could be a mechanic just trying to plan his day around a cam installation. I always research before attempting installations to learn from others.

+1, for example installation of headers takes ALOT less time to install on an integra/civic than on a Z

with the 262 cams do i need a special ECU or piggyback to tune the cams ?
all i have is a afc neo at the moment, not sure but i think it can control the idle,
