Cam install shop?

I am looking for an install shop or a person who has experience to install a cam I have purchased. It is a street cam and was told it is an easy swap. I can do minor mods myself but I don't like getting into the engine. I am looking for someone or some place within 250 miles of Rochester, NY. Any help would be appreciated. I tried local places but they want 5.5hrs labor @100/hr. I was told by the retailer it is a 1.5 to 2hr job max.

Thank you for your help!

I would love to help out if you can find someone with experiance to do this cam change. I much prefer to do these type of installs myself instead of bringing it to someone else.
If you cannot find a DIY instructor you may try Cantech automotive in N. Syracuse. Phone # 315-452-1168. They do very professional work but @ $105/hr.
If you find someone with experiance let me know let me know if I can help and learn along the way.
