should be able to get 500-550cc outta that pump after its benched. a good set of dv's will give you alot more fuel without the pump work

Turn the barrels yourself, easy job. Not to take anything away from the pump shops but all the fuel you need can be had for just some research and some of your time. To have someone pull the pump bench it and put it back on is probably going to run you 5 to 800. That would buy you some governor springs, injectors and maybe delivery valves.
