The gains would be nice, but seems like a tough sell for roughly $3500 dollars ($2500 labor + $1000 gestimate for cams).

$2500 for labor? Is Jesus himself doing the work?

100.00 an hour shop time is reasonable.

25 hours is completely unreasonable. Any Nissan dealer should be able to drop and reinstall a motor in 8 hours. That's how some dealers and shops install headers.

Not sure why they need 17 extra hours

Its 20hrs for motor pull or 10hrs to just install with motor already pulled. So $1800 at the cheapest for these. I do agree though i could beat 10hrs to drop it easy. Specially mine that has no evap lines etc and easy access.

I was'nt referring to the hours but the rate. If they said 25hrs then 2500.00. And installing cams is'nt as simple as dropping the motor and slapping them in. I had JWT S2's in my Titan and that whole process was a nightmare.

Most people don't understand the complexity of the cam install on these heads

I found out the hard way insisting that my lash be set to exact spec. Inatall cams , check lash cold, un install cams , order 32 more cam buckets at $18.00 each from 3 different dealers due to different sizes. Wait 6 days then re-install cams, recheck lash and button up.

Thats awesome.you installed it yourself. How many hours, 30?

derraj06 04-18-2016 10:36 AM

I know MA Motorsports quotes 20 hours to install a set of cams. That's via dropping the engine. For the work involved in both the engine drop and cam install, that's not unreasonable to me. I'm looking forward to seeing more data on both sets of cams.

Elmo370z 04-18-2016 02:55 PM

That is where i'm going to get my cams and heads worked on, if the stage 2 cam ever comes out that is

If it's a mexican guy, then the answer is yes :)

They are coming out. Don't worry about that. I have faith JWT will come through. MA Motorsports is awesome to work with. I talk to Daelen almost daily.
