LPP or Pacesetter headers and a tune from Blackbear, Wheatley, Nelson, etc... Also throw in a full exhaust and a used intake kit, and you're right at the budget.

the tune is just a quick swap of the ecm...just modify the stock air box to save money and speed engineering has the pacesetter's and ory for around 500$ Sponsor to the right ------->

Do something about the stock intake tube. That thing might as well be capped off its so small. You can hack up the box and the filter really isn't THAT bad but that dang tube is just tiny. I'm toying with the idea of one of those 50 dollar ebay cold/mostly hot air intake kits just because I'm too cheap to buy the 100 dollar intake tube kit from summit.

Tune, tune tune tune tune tune tune. That is going to be the next step on mine.
