Default DIY engine hop?

I had a question for those that did their own 103" hop up.&nbsp\\; I was thinking of going the whole 9&nbsp\\;yards with the HQ Sport package.&nbsp\\; How long did it take you (disassembly/assembly).&nbsp\\; Was there any special tools involved?&nbsp\\; Did you have to buy anything else at all?&nbsp\\; Was it worthdoing yourself?&nbsp\\; Thank you in advance for the info.&nbsp\\; Been searching for a while and HQ seems the way to go.&nbsp\\; Just seeing if it was worth doing myself, I think I'm mechanically inclined enough do&nbsp\\; do it, justmaking sure I'm not taking a bigger bite than I can swallow.
