I will guess about to hours taking it apart without any coffee or smoke breaks and then about 7 hours if your lucky to get it put back together........also take before and after pics and post them and what setup are you running!!!!!

Brady did you drain your ac? Your going to have to remove the ac condensor to get that cam out.

Do you have the quick disconnect tools for the ac condensor and fuel line? You going to need it so you can disconnect the fuel line and get the ac condensor out of the way.
Yeah, AC is drained and I've got fuel line disconnect tools. Going to head to napa tomorrow to get extra hoses, clamps, vacuum lines, etc...

More than the stock cam. I couldn't beat the price.

Dime - it's not that I'm worried about how difficult it is...just time constraints. I'm doing this at my uncles which is in calvert county about 90 miles away...so I'm trying to get it done by the end of the day saturday (going to work into the night if necessary) so I can come home for mothers day....but if I have to work on it sunday that's cool too.

Give it two days of solid work...really it can be done in less, but if you want to give yourself a space cushion, 2 should be more than plenty.. especially with three people. Good luck
