Default Vintage Air install question

So Im considering a VA Surefit kit for my 67 Firebird.

Normally I do most of my work myself, but I have zero interest in this particular job. Contacted a local shop who said that vintage air probably had a standard install time. They would charge me that number as a flat rate @ $110 per hour.

I thought that sounded pretty good until I got an email back from Vintage Air saying to expect 20-25 hours. Does that sound right? I was expecting more like 10-12 hours for a professional aftermarket shop.

For $1000 I was pretty happy to let someone else do it. For 2500+? That starts to sour me some on farming it out. I was even planning on buying it all through CVF and buying a serpentine kit with it to make it as easy as possible.

For those of you who have done it before or even better, shop pros who have installed multiple, whats the average time for one of the Surefit systems?
