How fast do you want to go = how much money you got period…

You can start off on the cheap with a decent gain in performance, but at a point not far past that beginner on the cheap, for every 0.01" cost more and more and then you get to the point that the next 0.010" faster will cost you double what the last 0.01" cost you and the next even more and more and even more the faster you go…

About the cheapest bang for the buck right now is a turbo LS swap into a fox body or SN95 body Mustang (basically a factory drag car) or whatever body you chose…

Now you have a fast car, how you think you are going to slow it down, up grade the brakes, $$$$, then you put even more money in it and now you are sliding around in your seat and need to upgrade safety stuff… 4-5 point harness, rollbar/cage for safety and mount the belts to… suspension also, has to be able to handle the new speed, etc etc etc…  
IT WILL snowball in a hurry…
