This is a very difficult question. Its very circumstantial, meaning if honing of the block was required (also boring) it would cost alot more. It will also vary from shop to shop your looking at labor of anywhere from 500 - 700 dollars.

I agree it depends, AMS charges about $4,500 including parts and I do not think that includes any block work... It think the cost may be closer to $1,500 to install, that does not include the kit which is $3,900.
That kit may need block clearance and you would probably want a larger bore size as well.
So it would be closer $6,000 for parts and labor.
Just my $.02....

Depends
I don't think you can go wrong with the AMS 2.3 stroker, but it really depends what you want.
The stroker kit will move the powerband & torque down to lower RPMs and make it a more fun "street" car with a larger turbo.
If you are going to keep the stock turbo, I wouldn't recommend a stroker as a first mod. The stock turbo is really a great piece & with cams, tbe, ems, injectors, fuel pump you can really get a lot out of it.
So if you are looking for a AMS 35R kit with stock like spool up, yes get a stroker kit and Crower is a very great piece but pricey. The AMS or any kit using the 2.4 crank will be close to the same and be very reliable.
The Crower kit is for getting the most displacement out of the 4g63 which will help spool a larger turbo a little faster, but unless you are looking for a race motor or 700awhp+, I think it is a little overkill.
Again, depends what you are looking for....
