How many hours should I expect a garage to charge me for to do this work:

1996 Trans Am 6-spd LT1 dual cats

ps. i am supplying all these parts, all thier gaskets, screws, etc. they need.

Heads
Int. manifold
Cam
Rockers
Throttlebody
Injectors
Plugs
Wires/looms
Shortube headers
Oil change
Fill coolant

I figure just do do one job makes doing the other that much easier, alone i imagine this take awhile but i think putting on headers would be a snap with the old heads and manifold already off, no?

i dont want to be suprised with a rediculous bill, I have $4,000 credit limit for this install, i HOPE that should be enough, but should i expect $1000, 1500, 2000...?
