well let the "dont spend money on a n/a 6 posts begin"! lol
anyway man, it all comes down to how much your willing to spend - when you say apprentice, are you a mechanic apprentice?? this would help heaps in keeping cost down a bit if you can do all the labour.
most of the time id advise against a cam change because of all the costs involved, but if you can do the labour then it really shouldnt end up costing all that much.
a decent size cam profile - something 220 degrees duration or bigger - with some more compression from shaving/milling the heads a few thou and maybe port the heads or just tidy up around the heads and intake manifold with a die grinder will see some nice gains.
all i can say is put the money where its usefull, dont waste it on crap like a larger throttle body, higher flowing injectors or any other useless gear people seem to think will make more power.
basically a good cam (change the way the engine breathes), plus more compression (cant stress that enough - n/a engines loooove more compression, especially with a cam that needs it) and good intake and exhaust flow will net gains.
