That's a lot of work at one time. I'd guess about 2-3 days of labor. Most shops charge about $90-100 an hour. So, I'd say about $2,400.00 in labor alone.

The dyno tune can vary by tuner/location. I'll guess about $400-$600 for the dyno tune.

That brings the grand total to about $2,800-3,000.00 plus parts. That's if everything goes well, and nothing breaks in the process. From my experience, major mods end up costing twice as much and take twice as long as you originally expect.
