Well, the prices he gave you look like they are right out of the Mopar Performance book. You can get these parts a lot cheaper if you look around. For example I ordered the computer for $297 including S&H. I've seen the Mopar headers advertised for around $550. I would go with the Quick D intake for $160 vs the Mopar. The cam package you can find for about $400. And the cat back is way over priced. I had a custom shop do mine with a Dynomax Magnum Race Series, which flows something like 200% more are than a Flowmaster 40 series, for about $130 including the $65 muffler. Or you could just cut out the stock muffler and replace it with a new one for probably under $100.
What I would do, if you decide to go with the platinum R/T, is buy the parts elsewhere and have them installed at the dealer if that's what you want. The Quick D intake is a piece of cake to install. It only took me about 45 min. to do the intake and the TB.

Steve,
No luck at all on the red one. Looks like platinum is all I have to
offer.
Headers-p/nP4876815-$650. plus labor
computer p/nP5007208-$436.plus labor
cold air intake p/nP5007069-$371.50 plus labor
cam p/nP5249549-$510.plus labor
cat.backp/nP4876816-$431.plus labor
my service guys tell me about $1000. on the total labor for the above.
There is another item that you need to know, these part numbers that
begin with a P have NO warranty ! For that explanation, you'd have to
talk to our service chief, Paul Gushikuma.
Parts has no r/t stripe package, per our previous conversation, you may
want to talk to the guys at Cars & Stripes.
Sorry for the lack of good news!
Regards,
