As long as you're not drag racing you will probably be fine, but that really all depends on driving habits. Drifting (drivetrain shock), and low speed racing puts quite a bit of wear and tear on the components.

Yeah with 3 grand IMO I would do the following.
leave body work for next year LOL
Microtech : Probably the best upgrade for now and down the road about 1.5K installed by your self
Tunning : At leasts $500
BNR Stage 4 : Should Put you close to 350 HP $825
Injectors : Buy my Greddy 720cc for primaries and maybe 720 cc secondaries. that should keep you with enough fuel for awhile.
