How much should a cam swap cost?

Title says it all.

I have never done it and am not affraid to learn. I just have a small garage and would want a dyno tune after so it might be worth them istalling it.

What would it cost? Ballpark....

In addition to the cost of the cam, it's always good to have a spare 100 bucks ready to roll for miscellaneous expenses that will arise. Timing cover gasket etc.

hydrolic roller, replacing another hydrolic roller.

Using a cam that will not need new springs or anything. JUST the cam....

Yeah, I know about having the extra $ set aside. I have pumped my car full of about 28 grand so far and I know that cost comes up from all over the place.
