420 rebuild cost?

[DJ NME]

wzup every1? i'm new to the forum but i've been doing some rebuild research. just bought a 99 GS w/about 100K. i've set my goal at about 400hp so a rebuild is definitely in the cardz for da near future. i recently asked a local shop for an estimate on a complete rebuild to get the car ready for 400hp and they told me it was gonna hurt about $5800 NOT INCLUDING a turbo, nos, ect. does this sound reasonable or should i tell them to take a hike???

wouldn't it cost about the same to swap, rebuild and maybe even turbo out a 2.4L???? again, i'm new so i'm not sure if this estimate sounds good or not. i know this hobby isn't cheap and i have no problem spending da money but i'd appreciate n e info u guyz can give me. thankx!

sounds about right to me after all is said and done. But the site you want to check out is 2gnt.com or at least the NA sub forum here.
