Time to fit uprated cam and induction
Discussion
I recently had an uprated cam and induction kit fitted to my 4L V8 (Chim). Labour charges were based on a 28 hour job. Can any of you professionals out there tell me if this was a reasonable time for the labour--seems excessive to me. The total cost at the end of the day--labour + induction kit (72mm plenum + 45mm trumpet base + induction polished ports) + fast road cam with vernier double chain + new ECU---was £2300 approx. Again seems a lot. When I checked labour for a Range Rover V8 the time quoted was only 6 hours.

BIG MISTAKE! Garage owner qualified mechanic offered to do it. Main experience with hot hatch types. Turned out knowledge of V8s generally and particularly V8s in TVRs very little so I guess I was paying for his learning curve--but he did a really good job in the end. Moral--it pays to go to the experts--V8 Developments would have done the job for £283 +VAT--but then they do five a day so they know all the little snags etc
