sad to say, but there really isn't anything that cheap that will give you a lot of extra horses. you could upgrade to an aftermarket intake (about 3 to 5 horses), do an a/c delete (a few extra horses), and use higher octane fuel. I believe those are the cheapest routes to go. anything else will cost you a pretty penny.
