Inexpensive NA power increase; how much?

OK, so we have several shops/companies developing aftermarket items for these cars. Some stuff for street, some for full race.

My *street* oriented question is: What increase in HP can we feasibly expect to acquire with simple bolt on's and *maybe* some tuning. I'm talking keeping costs low (under $2k). I/H/E and maybe some ECU adjustments for these items on a dyno. Maybe 20whp? Maybe More? I would like to have 40 more HP at the crank (match S2k output) while retaining a very "stock" feel (quiet exhaust, retain driveability etc).



My *race* oriented question is: What do you think it will cost to reach a 10:1 weight/HP ratio on a naturally aspirated build? I'm thinking 2500lbs, stripped with cage and 250whp. I have a plan to build one of these for a racing class with a 10:1 rule.
