Don't even think about a boosted car with 5 grand, as it will cost you much more in the long run. Figure 5-7 grand for the kit, then your probably going to want to upgrade springs, pushrods, timing chain, oil pump, etc etc, gauges, etc etc.
For 5 grand I would do vararam, headers, a nice head/cam package.
Headers: $1,000
Vararam: 350
PRC heads/cam and supporting mods:$2000
Tuning: 500
Total: $3850, might be able to get it installed for around 5 grand total.

We are just outside of Lubbock, Texas, and we have completed many installations for Oklahoma customers. A heads/cam package with all of the normal bolt-ons to complement (i.e. long tube headers, x-pipe, induction, etc.) will be easily done with installation for $5,000. Let me know how aggressive you would like to go with respect to camshaft, and I will be happy to make some recommendations. If you PM me your e-mail address, I will be happy to e-mail you an itemized estimate for the parts and installation and the next available installation date available.
Thanks!

Good luck getting a D1SC installed for 5 grand. Most of the kits cost 6 grand or more, just for the kit itself. Even if you install it yourself, figure to spend another 500-750 bucks for tuning.

I'd like to know how all that turns out for you. A HUGE part of what a competent tuner provides is to keep you headed in the right direction.
