If your smart and shop around you can easily have a killer NA setup for under 10k. However I am fortunate to use the resources at my university and from the local help with tuning and wiring.
Here is my break down if anyone is interested.
20b shortblock -- 1500 shipped, yeah I know I found a deal
20b rebuild -- all the goodies, heavy porting, balancing etc 4500-5000
(3) 13b housings -- price to be determined (prolly around 800)
Haltech platinum sport 2000 -- 1500
lS1 coils "smart coils" -- 150 bucks
Header -- 500 bucks in material (I did the fab work on it)
20b stock subframe mounts -- 100 bucks (again I did the fab work)
Electric meizere 55gpm waterpump refurbished -- 150 bucks
ITB's (untested) 250 bucks in material (again fabbed by me)
Misc. electronics, wiring, sensors -- 800
That is pretty much what I have into the car as it sits now. Its actually less than 10k more like 9k and everything is basically brand new. All the 13b related stuff I sold off almost covered the cost of the entire build so I pretty much broke even on a setup that will be more reliable, sound awesome, and make great power. I cant complain.

If you do the porting and rebuilding youself can save $4500 which is my plan for my 20B FC.
