That's the price for your head shipped/brought to them (DPR in california). I think the prices are pretty good compared to the places around here (DFW). One of the shops over here was gonna charge something like $400 just to port the intake manifold (DPR charges $200). And for the headwork, they quoted something like $2000-3500 plus, they don't even test the flow and stuff. Another reason why DPR is a little more expensive is the quality of work that is done. Sentra.net recommends DPR for headwork and JWT. JWT isn't offering headwork for the 1.6 right now (atleast that's what they told me). Here's what DPR offers for each of their stages (not specific to the 1.6 head, some things are done differently depending on application: turbo, NA, NOS, etc.) Also, I think he offers 5 angle valve jobs at no extra charge.

Stage IV
Competition Port & Polish Deshrouded & Polished Combustion Chambers
Back-Cut Valves
Radiused Blend Seats
Three-Angle Valve Job
Hand-lapped & Vacuum-Tested Valve Seats

Stage V
Stage IV plus...
Cylinder Head Deburred & Blueprinted
Combustion Chambers C.C.'d
Detailed Matched Intake Manifold Fully Ported to Head
and Throttle Body
Match Port Exhaust Manifolds
Port Faces Lapped Flat (Studs removed and reinstalled)
Decks Milled & Lapped (At any amount with no additional charge)
Radiused Cut Seats

Stage VI
Stage V plus...
Combustion Chambers Welded & Reshaped, (clover-leaf pent-roof design)
Intake Valves Lightened
Includes Valve Spring Shims as Needed
