Wouldn't a car with Head/Cam swap be lighter than a SC car too? Also, just in case is there any reason you couldn't add a SC on top of Head/Cams later? :P

Intake and tune. Shop around and buy used and you can find them really cheap. I found a C&L Racer for $110, and a Diablosport Predator for $190. Another $50 for a tune from Bamachips and you've saved about $250 of the cost of them new. Once you have a tuner, you can pick up a set of CMDP's for cheap if you look around. They don't give much extra HP but every little bit counts I guess. UDP's and O/R midpipes can be found for pretty cheap too. Gears themselves are cheap, but getting them installed makes the price jump quickly.

Not really for performance, but nice none the less.
