    You can find out pretty fast if she loves you by asking her to buy you a turbo setup.

    Modular pulley system with pulley for $100. Tunes can range in price depending on where you go to get one or order a tuned pcm. Either way, a tune and pulley setup should definitely plant you somewhere in that 200-300 range

    Well that's what sucks about these cars. You mod, tune, add more mods, tune again, add even more mods, and tune some more. I mean, she could get you a cam for 325, but there's still plenty of money to be spent on other things before putting that cam in.

    600 could get you most of the way on a cam setup. Your typical cam setup and a tune could get you close to that pulley range.
