What is your budget? Expect to pay close to 3k for a good setup and tuning. As for the engine, go have someone look at it and make sure everything is fine, compression is good, etc, etc.

parts alone will be $2000-$3000 depending on how much power you want to make. You should try to do the labor yourself or get a friend to help you or do it for you because a good shop will likely charge you over $2000 for labor.
