I do not know who Davenport in Calgary is but If I had that money I will send the car to Lingenfelter and have them install their kit or will do things a little different, like getting another KIT ........... do you know what I mean ?

He may be talking in Canadian dollars. Would still be high but not as crazy.

Are you auto or manual?, if auto you should consider gears also, if you have the 273 rear the 342s and a stall will get it into the right rpm range quick and the 120 hp will feel like double. Either way it will be addictive and you will want more.

Have fun and be safe

stock internals, safety for the customer and the workshop warranty based in reputation. I'm sure he end with a little more but definitely not with 600 rwhp

Good to hear you've got it back. It should give you years of trouble free operation and tens of thousands of miles at that power level. Have fun.
