+1. I just ordered longtubes and detroit rockers from Brenspeed yesterday and also need to rent some tools. A local mechanic said he'd install for $350. I'd pay that before I go buy expensive 1 time use tools.
Edit: I was at Advance Auto this morning and they said they rent the valve spring compressor. So I really just need to find the timing chain wedge.

I HIGHLY doubt that Advance Auto has the correct valve spring compressor for the 3V. They have a generic set that will not work with the 3V.
$350 is an insanely good price to install cams and headers. I wouldn't think twice.

A guy on s197forum.com rents them. Check this out. http://www.shopfreedomracing.com/
Now THAT's what I call some quality information there.
Good job 808!
BTW... just curious.
Did you rent his tools when you put your cams etc. in?
Just wondering if that's how you knew the info lol.

BTW to the OP...
You will LOVE the Hot Rods!
We had them in our 06GT and it was our FAVORITE mod!
The awesome lope sound, the shaking of the cams, car just
feels like a whole different machine with them in.
Congrats!
