I agree with JWaller on this. They are the first things you should look at. I would look in the links page and find ron's fuel pumps. He should have what you need.When you replace the IC pump rerun the metal lines with heater hose through the passsengers side fender. It helps lower the IC temps also.
Here's what I'd do
Walbro fuel pump $100
Jabsco IC pump $100-150
3/4" heater hose $10
hotwire IC pump N/A
NGK UR5 or UR6 plugs $10
Taylor wires $50
Conrad cap & rotor $15
tranny cooler $50 (JC Whitney TruKool)
PCV valves $10
Top Engine Cleaner $10
bell mouth intercooler FREE
port match upper intake FREE (cost of gasket possibly)
Datamaster or Diacom $100-300 if you have a laptop
A Sy could possibly make it in the 12s on these mods.

IC bell mouth is simple... just bell mouth the inlet to the IC... dremel won't crack a sweat.
The upper IC matching isn't bad either, but I'd rather use something a bit better than a dremel for it. It could be done with a dremel, however.
It's a good weekend project to do these. Buy a new throttle body gasket, buy an upper intake gasket, get some PCV's, some vacuum line. Tear your IC off, throttle body off, upper intake off. Check out the vacuum lines, replace as needed, replace the PCV's. Use some carb cleaner, soap, Simple Green, degreaser, whatever.. on the throttle body, and inside of the upper intake. Clean the upper intake after you do the port matching, so you can clean out all the metal material. Use the carbon deposits as a guide where to do the port matching. I have pictures somewhere, of the port matching I did on the Typhoon. YOu can also clean out the intercooler at this time too.

This is the $1K mod page. It has a $200 boost controller which you can take off right away. Not saying it isn't worth it - but that takes you down to $800. The Aux IC is another $110 - someday needed but there are cheaper methods that some have suggested such as a 30 dollar heater core. We are at $690ish. Exhaust - you can get a custom cat back exhaust for $100 bucks.
In order - I would go through http://syty.net/faq.htm - probably the best information out there. Doing all this isn't going to cost a lot of money. The fuel pump, Jabsco IC Pump, and AFPR are probably the most expensive items - and those can all be found for around $100 each. They might not make you faster - but you will get there safer. I would guess you could probably do the entire FAQ/Readme for $500. Oh and do the vacuum lines - they cure a lot of weird things.
