you can build a h/e for just about 375$. have a h/e built in your town buy a cm30 and a c3 pulley new or used. then mod your intakes as i did or go with sl55 airboxes. 1,000 spent. now save for a tune just my .02 you wont be the fastest but you will be much faster than stock and still be able to upgrade later without having a boatload of wasted parts. you can also do the coolant separation for about 2$. best cooling mod beyond the bigger h/e
