If you want me to be honest, get a stock engine. Dumping money in cars is a big waste of cash. But god is it fun. Basically, tuning your car is just an expensive hobby. A hobby that will comsume your life. all your thoughts during work will be about about how you'll spend the money you've just earned. You'll spend long nights on your computer researching what part you need to beat the next guy. You'll max out your credit cards and live off of ramen for months if it means you can make your car faster. Racing will consume you.

If it's a new motor, you always have the option of putting that one supercharger on it. It's a complete kit. It's on the boards somewere.
