Cost of labor?

Summer job with good overtime has left me with some money burning a hole in my pocket. Been thinking I'd order a set of Weasey 2k cams, and have them installed. I'm not mechanically inclined enough to do it myself. Just wondering how much you think labor would cost, and if theres anything else that should absolutely be done at the same time. I'm not sure how much prices vary by region, but if it helps I'm in what most people consider Southern Illinois and right on the state line with Indiana.

Wow. Thats cheap! Most shops here in cali are more like $90-$125/hr. The cam swap will need a valve adj at the same time so Im not sure about there but here it would probably run you about $400-$550
