1 or 2K you are probaly limited to intake and exhaust mods and maybe a cheap piggy back with out much dyno time

first a good exhaust would be the best thing to do
extractors and a 2.5 inch mandrel bent system with lots of straight through glass pack muffers to keep it quiet

would help with fuel economy as well

forced induction is out of the budget but would give serious gains you would need 6000 to do that.

get some exhaust quotes

cheers
