If I done it, and didn't want anymore than 300rwkw i'd go a monza cooler, 42lb injectors, edit, better air filter and a fuel pump just to be safe. I remember Rips' BA had ~300rwkw and he had the above mods except the fuel pump, he also had a typhoon exhaust but can't remember if the dump pipe was standard or not? Pretty sure it was some 3.5 or 4" one.
Anyway, all those items if bought second hand (inc a sniper tune which should be $6-700 and a bigger dump pipe if needed) can be had for under $2k, i'd snap up tristans exhaust, I think he only wants $200 for it now!
But then you have to worry about the clutch, I think a malwood option 3 is something like $1500, so you'd have to budget that in too.
EDIT: Forgot about valve springs on the BA motors....add that to the list, will be a fair bit in labour. Not sure exactly how much.
