FULL COMPLETE TUNE-UP (if not rebuilding do this first)
Replace ALL fluids
then,
CAI, have injectors serviced, true duals, lightened flywheel with better clutch Thats about 1500, spend the balance on a full rebuild with a professional port job, port match the intake. TB Mod and the list goes on and on and on and on

Damn, I was gonna say something ain't right. With that power you could've just turbo'd it for less and got that! Still waiting for my coworker to pop his engine so we can drop in my 355.

16 = NA, learn to drive (of course I know all about the professional go cart drivers learking out there)
18 = turbo - can afford the habit
or, just be one of my kids and daddy will build it!

If you have a NA, sell it and get a TII and do exhaust, fcd, fuel pump, safc and some dyno tuning. Or buy a V8 RX7, or do the swap urself for more expense.
If you like NAs then block porting, exhaust, and Safc + dyno tuning in that order would be my humble recommendation. Don't forget to get some light stock 15x6 wheels (91 coupe five stars, bbs vert wheels, or Millenia or 929 wheels are all around 12 lbs each).
And have fun!

For $3830 you could bolt on a complete 7" supercharger kit and have money left over This one requires no ECU mods or injector changes as it has it's own built in injectors. I think you might need a larger fuel pump though.

For not I would say learn to drive, you don’t want to have high hp when you start driveling, you will waist your car. i would learn to drive, and while you are at it learn about upgrading your turbo system. Also keep in mind if you want to add hp it will add strain to your motor, which will likely be a high mileage engine. Which means I would get now with a blown engine, put some of that money into giving it a fresh rebuild with RA apex seals, them maybe use some of the left over money to get your self a bigger turbo with an external waist gate, upgrade your injectors and fuel pump, get a safc, and such.

If you want the most "hp" from a TII, just buy a T-88, or some other rediculously huge turbo and bolt it on. Then take the pipe on the manifold that is for connecting a wastegate, and weld it shut.
Seriously, learn how to drive before you worrie about how fast your car is....if you just want a lot of "hp" buy a mustang, camaro, T/a, V8 whatever. If you do buy an rx-7 and want to mod it AFTER you learn the basics of driving, then do research on the set-up you want, we can't tell you what you want to do with your car.

just my 2 cents but
id save it for things that break as you drive it and learn to drive it. and as your skills develop and if the car doesnt break at all by then i would put the money into handling
like tires, springs, shocks, strut brace, brakes things like that that seem to get overlooked when thinking about fast cars
