I agree with Bob. The K-14 process for Kodachrome has many chemical steps along 
with light reversal steps. Kodachrome film and the process it uses are truly the 
8th wonder of the world to photography. I have never heard of any lab offering 
to push Kodachrome. Pushing it would be nothing short of needing the assistance 
of divine intervention.  If anyone has any knowledge of a lab that does this, I 
would be very interested in knowing who they are and how they do it. Film that 
uses the E-6 process such as Ektachrome etc is your best bet for pushing, though 
exposure becomes even more critical and slide contrast will be affected along 
with an increase in visible grain.
