On a 2V what would i be looking at if i were to bring it to a shop? I know it depends on the shop but what would be the avrage time and other costs to consider. I would get the cams changed at the same time.

I dont remember exactly, but I was at work one day bored and was looking through the labor manual and I think it was atleast 5hrs but not more than 8 for both heads.
