I think the rule of thumb is $50 ~ $75 / hp
I think the max you can reach with "all tricks" is maybe an additional 50 hp = $3 ~ $4k
After that it gets real expensive with either an engine transplant > $15k or a turbo, also > $15k, so at this point it really might be cheaper to get a different car....
