Default What can I realistically expect?

Since no one seemed really interested in buying my hatch, I've decided to do an extremely low budget buildup on it. So far, what I have planned is:

D16a6 engine & matching tranny
D16z6 head w/some p&p work...milled .010 - .020
A decently large aftermarket cam (not sure on brand or specs) Use something along the lines of a Crower Stage 2 as an estimate
Normal I/H/E bolt-ons.
50-75 shot

Setup would be goin in a STD '91 Hatch that will be mostly gutted inside. No exterior modifications.

What can I expect out of it? What changes/suggestions/additions would you make if it were you?
I'm not looking for long term reliability. Just want something stock looking engine/exterior wise that I can hustle with.

Gotta make back the money somehow.

Seriously. Any help or ideas? I have a few hours to decide if this route is feasible, or if a mildly built B18B would be that much faster. Granted, it's not stock looking under the hood...

do a junkyard turbo setup is what i would do cryo treat the whole motor

cryo- $500.00
Turbo- depends 100-300
misc. lines hardpiping- 300
bov- free if you have a pick n pull junkyard
ghettodyne boost program- 50-100
starion fmic-100-150
mbc- 5-25 bucks, just homemade
10psi of boost= 180-200whp

so for about 1500-2000 you could potentially have a 200whp single cam thats bullet proof

have you ever seen what cryo treating does to a motor, or what it even is? you can make 200whp off of a stock internal single cam. Why dont you check out the cryo link in my sig and then run your mouth like a little bitch, you obviously have nothing good to contribute, oh and check out some sites, and read a little on the single cams they can hold STOCK up to 220hp then the rods start to give.

Those numbers with a turbo sound really nice, especially for what I'd need to spend. How quick would it be without a turbo...just with a 75 shot? Would it be able to withstand nitrous usage without cyro treatment? For how long?

it will be able to handle it for a while, i just like having that extra security with the cryo. Im putting together my turbo kit using a ct28 turbo off of a all trac celica which can handle 12-15psi of boost. Ive blown up to many engines to not take the extra security like cryo
