Our local shop we use would likely charge ~$200-$250 for something like that. But then, NC prices on most stuff is somewhat less than NY prices. Hope that helps.

You can not say it will cost 275 to balance a motor unless it unless it is for stock parts

It cost me 400 to balance my motor but i added biger pistons and forged rods.

i wonder why it would cost you that much for balancing forged internals? What is involved in balancing the rotating assembly?
