Default No Springs Required Cam install difficulty

I really want to add Cams for Christmas as well as a few other things, which ive been posting questions about. I am looking at either Comp or FRPP hot rod NO spring required.
How hard is it for 2 people with pretty decent experience to install the cams on these cars? Every shop ive called wants 700-1200 for install! thats more than the damn cams. If its really that hard and i should just get a shop to do it then im just going to say F it and not go cams.
Thanks

im not so much worried about the difficulty since ive gone through the install guide, but im more worried about the possibilities of something going wrong. im sure i could follow the instructions fine, but WHAT IF something isnt perfect or something goes wrong. i spoke to a popular tuner over the phone and he kinda made me nervous about it. how easy is it actually to really mess something up?

i haven't done anything like this, but seem to be somewhat handy. the only things i have done are spring a c/c install 4 times, installed 2 different kind of shifters, and other little things(exhaust n stuff).

this weekend im planning to tackle the LT install. the only way i will buy cams is if i install them myself. the only thing i wont do on my car is maybe clutch, gears, and building the motor.
