Quite a bit of questions to be answered. When you tell someone you have a set limit to spend you're options are pretty endless depending on the amount.
I want an all-around increase in performance within the 10K-12K range. It looks like it may be difficult to do a true overall overhaul (although, I'm not all into body kits/wings etc.) and go FI with that budget. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Do you drag race?

Here's the parts I recommend...
GReddy Twin Turbocharger Kit -- Sell 440cc fuel injectors (about $500), sell GReddy eManage (about $350)
Walbro 255lph In-Tank Fuel Pump
AAM Return-Fuel System
Clutch Masters FX300 Single-Disc Clutch (good for around 450 RWHP)
RC Engineering 550cc Fuel Injectors (this way you won't reach 100% duty cycle on the 440cc fuel injectors included, plus if you decide to upgrade you should be good to around 530 RWHP)
TurboXS UTEC Engine Management System
HKS Super Sequential [Valve] (SSQV) Blow-Off Valve
Quiafe LSD
Defi D-Series Boost Gauge plus two other gauges (give me a day or so and i'll come up with something)
Hotchkis Sway Bars
StopTech Stage 2 Brake Upgrade Kit



Give me a while and i'll figure up avg. installation costs and see if this will fit your budget.

Sweet. Aren't you guys in NC? I'll be down there for a couple months beginning in late April.

I'd like to get into drag racing. There's a 1/8 mile track within ear-shot of my house.

I have a 5AT. I think you suggested clutch in there.

Thanks!

Yep, in Charlotte.

If you do get into drag racing and go to the track quite often, it's a good idea to upgrade the rear axles.

Woops, I apologize. Trying to reply to different threads at the same time is getting to me!

Swap out the suggested clutch for a valve body upgrade. SGP Racing does a good job on this.
