for $700 it all depends on what you want to do and who you know. u could find used parts for $700 that could make a setup such as a FWI, cam/rockers, headers, drop the pulley size, and have a pretty decent setup. save up $200-300 more for a tune and your good to go, or find someone local w/ a power tuner to help get the fueling under control and knock retard down to a minimum till he has a few extra 100 he can put down on a real tune.
