i personally would spend it all under the hood, because what good will a fast motor do if you cant get your suspension to handle the power it laying down? But a swap is a must but you cant forget about suspension, its probably the most important part of a car.

do an ls swap they seem to be the cheepest and can get alot of power out of them.
or do suspention. it is cool going fast. but it is alot of fun when you catch up going around a turn. thats what i did. i have a cx and i cant keep up very well but get me on a turn and i think i do pretty well. just my .02
peace
