Sorry, but it's not going to get much faster for $1200.
Nitrous is risky. A new B18C engine costs a lot more then your entire budget, not to mention you have to refill the bottle.

been there done that
as said earlier, you cant do a whole lot to go fast with only $1200. maybe you can find some itr cams, valvesprings, and retainers and have enough left over for a vafc for tuning. everything used of course.

It just takes one little mistake and a very expensive engine is destroyed. It's not worth it, that's why I don't use it.
