Well.. this is from experience. Fast, cheap, reliable. Pick two. Yes, that is an old expression, and yes, it is still true.
I had my motor built for $3700 (labor, rods, port and polish, valves, pistons, rings, new timing components, new oil pump assembly, gaskets, bearings, balancing, ect.) and then $560 for JWT Cams. That's a grand total of $4350 for an engine with optional cams that you want, . Add a $500 ECU, $200 Cobra MAF, $430 for 50# injectors and top feed rail (needed for 280rwhp+). So now, for a motor capable of handing 300rwhp, you've spent $5480-ish. I don't know the labor for anything else, since I've done everything but build the engine myself. Now you're nearly $1000 over your budget and have no boost. Top that off with gauges, boost controller, turbo timer, and you're $1500 over budget. My turbo setup has costed $3400, and a kit is $4000. You're out of your league for the money you have and the goals you're trying to attain. Oh, and check out my website in my signature below.
