Heads,Cam,Intake.

If you are paying for installation, your choices are limited. I would look into buying some used heads and intake.

Head, cam and intake will likely blow your budget out of the water unless you can do all the work yourself. Even then, you're likely looking at more than $2k depending on the parts you choose.

Good luck!

do yourself a favor and do the work yourself. I just did this and i learned a ton about my car. If you do it yourself you will know what goes wrong with your car in the future and how to fix it. + its tons cheaper
