the cheappest way is to put every part on the car and then tune it

from what i see you need these parts to get the most out of your S/C set up(second hand prices):

-Header(shoty or long tube,OBX will do) ~$150
-2.5" flex pipe (Truebandz) ~$100
-2.5" catback (Borla) ~$250
-2.5" high flow cat (Magnaflow) ~80
-passanger and drivers engine mounts ~$150
-adjustable camshaft gears ~$120
-maybe some cams like Ford Racing st.2 ~$200
-early ported intake manifold ~$80
-65mm throttle body (Focus Central) ~150
-Xcal2 ~$280

so like somewhere around $1000 to get your monster beefed up lol
but thats all up to you.....i got all that from the top of my head

the key thing to do is buying everything used to keep it on the budget :)

See thats the thing, by the time I source out all those parts its gonna be snowing...
I think I'm going to hold off on any changes until next year and complete it as it is right now. I want this thing boosted for at least a month or two before snow hits and ruins any chance of fun driving. :D
So what I might do is start sourcing out the parts, keep eye on used sections and gather things up over the winter for install next spring.
If it needs to be retuned, it needs to be retuned...but I'm convinced I need to do this in phases.
