A full cam kit probably at that price range. If you have gears, stall, headers etc... now.

Yea a full cam kit if you want the power all the time. Nitrous would give you a bigger gain but you have to refill to bottle and its only on when you hit the button.

As mentioned above, that would be enough to cover a cam install. You would most likely get the best bang for the buck from a nitrous setup. A 1000-1200 dollar budget will easily get you a setup with all the bells and whistles.

$1200 is roughly a cam swap.

but at the samne time you need gears, maybe stall if its auto and headers to see the full benfitof a cam swap... if he has none of those things he should be spending his money there.

CAI, 1.6 RR, Headers, Full exhaust... maybe a tune...
then I would go with a cam swap. And you need to get a tune AFTER the cam swap too.
