Need Budget Estimate for Fall Mods: How much $$ do you think, Vendor recommendation?

Need your help. I'm creating a budget for my next series of mods that I plan to have done this Fall (November).

I'm moving to Northern Virginia next month and plan to have the work done at a shop in the New Jersey/New York area and would like to know what shop you guys recommend and labor estimate based on your experiences for the following work (I will be supplying all the parts):

TSP 225/225 .589/.589 112 cam ($360)
Comp R Lifters ($215)
30# SVO Fuel Injectors ($230)
Racetronix Fuel Pump ($290)
Ported LS6 Oil Pump ($130)
Yella Terra 1.7 Rockers ($500)
Luk Pro Gold HD Clutch w/ Fidenza Flywheel ($795)
DTE Stage II 4.10 Gears w/ HD 300M Shaft ($1500)
Wideband Dynotune (I have my own LS1Edit/Cable)

What are the recommended shops in that area? I think I read Cartek, ECS and Vette Doctors... It would be great to hear from the forum vendors/tuners - please email or IM me.

I've had a fair amount of work done at ECS. Chris, Doug and Marc are top notch and do excellent work.

TTT - Any other vendor recommendations and cost estimates? Am I forgetting any essential parts/upgrades based on my To Do List and current mods?
