It is very hard for me to post pricing, as we do so many different things to them. I just match what target the customer wants, and tell him what it takes to hit that exact goal.
Or labor rates are VERY good here.
An example is,
9.5 lower pulley install 400. Add a cam is just 250 more for install price. Add heads, is just 250 more. "if done at the same time" ect.. So it is very cheap depending on what you do at the same time.
There are tons of different routes to hit set horsepower levels and is usually up to the customer with our feedback on what is worth it or not..
Usually we dont do headers, as we just dont see valid gains worth the 2000 bucks.
We have done alot of 600-700 rwhp builds.
My route for power is more on the "Core" engine inprovement then adding boost to compliment.
For example. 650 RWHP. "tuned very mild to last a VERY long time"
Ported LSA heads. $1300
675lift springs titanium retainers $300
560 lift small cam with STOCK idle $250.
Full ported supercharger including throttle and snout $650.
9.55 lower pulley kit $950
Idler $50

He is added beside it. Since he didn't want to give specific prices I just added him to the totals of the shops to the right.
You should see it....

I'll add it to the list in the "broken down format" like it is on others.
Since your doing this Wait4me do you want your shop to be listed.... None of the other shops have gotten in on this and chimed in, or Adam do you want me to keep it like we have and people can still PM myself or you to get the shop details?
Look forward to adding to the list.

I don't mind listing all the shops in different order on a separate post.

Just some good advice here to all. Check out the table that tells you how fast you are spinning your SC in rpm's. If you overspin it then you will make less HP in a 'real' environment...not dyno #'s... real running. I have embarrassed cars that claim to be making much more HP than I. It's all about where they are making their HP and where I am making mine.
I don't know where or who has the chart but I am sure that some of the shops here know how to figure the rpm's by pulley combo's. I run a 2.55 upper and 8.66 lower pulley (like I don't know if a 9.1 lower only is equal or a 9.5 lower only etc) Bigger is NOT better! I have no NO HEADERS (very little gains and I mean very little! Not worth the money as wait.for.me said) and stock exhaust pipes with the flat sections removed of course and 2 cats still intact with corsa mufflers. Mufflers give you 2 hp maybe! lol I bought my car with corsa's so I left them! I have NO heat X as it not needed either IMO because I am not overspinning the blower but I also run E85. With 93 octane it never got hot either. With E85 and 60 degree day I hot lapped it 3 times in a row and it got faster! I have 850 injectors as well, solid isolator for the upper pulley and Air raid cold air with water flap removed, 160 stat and tuned by Enzo racing on pump E85 and I went 10.58 with a drag radial, NT05 nitto 305's, and full weight, stock rims and front tires and I weigh 275lbs. The 10.58 was done at -400 DA. I ran at -1500 DA once and couldn't get traction but went 133.66mph on that particular day! Minimal work, maximum speed! Car was dynode at 621whp on a low reading mainline AWD dyno but dyno's don't mean much...track times mean everything!
Just giving you guys a heads up that are doing work to your car that more mods does not mean more HP! On 93 octane I made 580whp and probably would have went 10.80's on a bad day but never made it to the track on 93.

Well...bringing me back to a much more naive time on this board for me...haha
And with the aftermarket plus up that has happened for these cars now, the cost have even gone down a little.

I actually think I'm gonna take mine off of a DD status at the end of this year, beginning of next if I can get all of my personal issues resolved and TT it....
Pick up a truck or a jeep for a DD. Kinda would enjoy not having to freak out about every pot hole or inclined drive way or what not. Enjoyed riding around in my brothers raptor the other day and not having to worry about the little stuff 
Plus after looking at all these TT set ups, I've got the urge to bust 1000 hp in one car, be the first time for me... Oh hurry up 2014... lol
