You can easily get it done with 8k which is what you said is your budget. A while back I got a quote of right around $8,500 for a Whipple 2.9 tuner kit, ZL1 fuel pump, ADM FPCM, ID-850 injectors, ZL1 MAP, LS9 spark plugs, all installed and tuned. The above combo is the absolute best and correct combo of parts if keeping it under 650RWHP. If I could get that kind of deal on a Whipple with those combination of parts then surely you can get a TVS 2300 tuner kit with the same combination of parts for under $8k. If you seriously have a budget of 8k get a tried and true supercharger package and never look back. Just make sure your tuner is a real good one and you will have a easy 500RWHP or more that drives BETTER than stock, doesn't kill mpg, is fun at ALL RPM's, has torque EVERYWHERE, doesn't need gears or a torque converter for good driveability and is very reliable. Also, Maintainence will be the same as stock unlike a cam package. You won't have to have springs checked every so often neither will they need to be heat cycled and it won't need some super special expensive oil that you have to order.
