quick bump..still looking for must-have mods in your opinions that i should add to my build list. and what mods i should do before others (please leave out suspension and brake issues, they are not relevant to my purpose of attaining 300whp )

ok seriously, after good brakes, and a good suspension setup, you wont have much left of your 5-7k, and if you dont believe me ill scan my parts list from enjuku when i did my build, $5400 with a stock KA, mishimoto radiator, SPEC flywheel and stage 2+ clutch, and built suspension and good stockish brakes

anyways IMO

Actually thats a pretty good rundown of stuff to do, in that order too.

Depending on theft rates in your area, you might want to beef up security as well. A decent alarm and a kill switch will go a long way.

^ With all those mods some sort of security system should be in place. Look into a locking hub too (if you're going with an aftermarket wheel).

FAIL...bad advice. I am no pro at all on KA's, but from seeing other KA builds i am sure you don't need to upgrade your cams. Listen to the advice that FlatBlackIan told you. OH, and post up some pictures of this car. i am sure its a beauty.
