NA is expensive
to pull good power you need great parts all working together
can't slack

A chipped ECU and a good tune afterwards will do you fine methinks.

what kind of suspension are you running? Do you have a good rim/tire combo? Brake setup? I'd consider upgrading all of these things if you haven't yet.

if it were me, i'd go with a gsr bottom end and throw in some itr cams and then tune. its fairly stock and reliable but you get the torque of the 1.8 and some decent high end power. That should tie you over for awhile

take all the wasted money on bolt ons, and throw it into security. GPS tracking, Failsafe killswitches. 2 alarms and redundant everything.
