I would think a skilled mechanic could change sporty cams in about 4-5 hours or so (probably less if they had done the work before). There really isn't much to it on the sporties since they're gear drive.  If you're pulling your heads off to have work done to them and you're planning on changing out your cams at some point, it will save a good bit of time to do it all at the same time since many of the items that need to be removed to pull the heads are the same items that need pulled to do the cams.   I think changing out cams may only take an extra hour or two at the most with an engine that already has the heads pulled .

New cams will change the way the bike feels, in general you don't want to change the cams. Not unless you really do want to change the nature of the beast.
Have a look at NRHS.
