labor for pistons and rods

how much do you guys think it will cost to put some forged pistons and rods on a 01 ws6 looking to get boosted. Dont want a full rotating assembley as I just want to go to like maybe 10pounds boost max.If more than $1000 for labor maybe just some 6.0 liter heads and gaskets that lower the 10.1 comp. that i have now. I live in cali so only go kart fuel (91)

.I will tune very safe around 10.8to 11.o air to fuel and little timing .thanks for your help

I believe that Bob @ EPP can do it for less than $5000.00. I could be wrong.

Thanks! Yes, we can do it for $4,500.00. We remove the engine, and disassemble it. The stock crank is polished, and we use Callies Compstar rods and Diamond pistons and a new oil pump, timing chain and gears. The rotating assembly is balanced, and you get your choice of a comp camshaft.
The engine is then put back into your car and tuned on our Mustang Chassis Dyno. Bob

Would this price include everything so the motor is considered "forged" If i did this on a GZM kit, how much PSi could i run safely with the t-70? About how much power does it hold?

Yes indeed. We're pushing 790 rwhp with these very same parts on the twin turbo Corvette that we built. You can at least safely run 16 psi. Bob
