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
