Forged internals, how much $ for Labor

Want to up my boost to 12-13 PSI.
How much should I expect to pay in labor for connecting rods and pistons?(range)
Is there anything else I should get the mechanic to do while they are messing with my engine?
Thanks

With forged rods and pistons you can run in the neighborhood of 16-20 psi. Thats what I would do. I know a guy who is driving his Bullitt on 14 psi with stock internals. I thol him he was dumb as hell but he said it runs great. LOL (thats what he thinks till he throws a rod and lubricates the road he is on.) LOL
