What is missing here is what power goals did you have in mind, especially when you asked for the quote?
It's already been touched on here and in other threads, but if you are looking for 250-300whp on pump gas, then you don't injector upgrades or fuel pump upgrades. In general, if you are planning to run 92-93 octane pump gas you won't be looking at more than 300whp for safety sake.
As general rule of thumb:
1) 220-260whp, 190-215 ft/lbs of torque - you really don't need anything besides the FI kit of your choice. The clutch should be fine, the standard fuelling will be fine, even the stock exhaust will be fine.
2) 270-300whp, 220-260ft/lbs of torque - you will be at the limit of the standard fueling and standard 92-93 octane pump gas. You may be able to push the power further, but that is a choice to make between you and your tuner. You *will* need a clutch, as once you get to 220+ ft/lbs of torque, your clutch will give way. If not right away, it will be soon. Exhaust upgrades are highly recommended. So is an upgrade to better rubber.
3) 330+ whp, 260+ ft/lbs of torque - for safety sake, you better be running e85, race gas, meth, or similar. Running e85 guarantees you'll need larger injectors, plus a fuel pump. Stock clutch left the building a long time ago. Exhaust is necessary. Brake, suspension, and tire upgrades should also be considered mandatory. Some gauges to monitor the situation is also A Very Good Idea.
Choice no.3 can easily push you into the 10k+ range, not because of the FI kit itself, but all the supporting modifications that go with it.
