all labor included you'd probably looking at around 5k+, even regardless, a boost setup will still give ore power. even something like a JRSC, as dumb as they are, will most likely overtake a NA car with the same cash dropped in.
i have been doing extensive work to my head and block and i haven't hit the 3k mark yet and i almost done! i do tend to disagree with a FI car alway beating a built NA car just because i'm positive a lot of people beside myself have seen NA's beat FI's before.
carlmax, if you want more power i would suggest saving your money and doing a swapp to a b18a/b/c thats going to give you more power over any d series motor. and later on if you want to go all motor or boost have at it.
