thinking about buying a block and doing a legit build but I need some ideas... now heres what i want...

please list

1. the major mods of the buld

2. why you feel this route is better

3. an estimated cost of the build

the key here is I wanna build the strongest/most powerful engine I can FOR A REASONABLE PRICE... being in college Im not rich so obviously a $5000 build is out of my limits...

thanks for any ideas/help
