Default The cheapest/efficient way to 275-300rwhp

I would like to get what everyone thinks is the best way to achieve this. There's so many ways to achieve this number with the 2 so I would like to get what every thinks is the more efficient penny pinching way to do this all the while making the most kick ass motor. Everyone has thier own ways but I would like to start this discussion to trade opinions and knowledge to attain this kind of performance. Not to mention the rights to flex as best MR2 tuner. With the tuning world changing so fast and new parts being available the ways of doing this is also evolving so I think this is a challenging question.

So let's recap

1. 275-300rwhp
2. Must be the extremely fast to repond
3. Must spend as little money as possible
4. Must be steet legal ( no removing cats and such tactics)

So flex and lets see who comes up with the best solution.

200 shot of nos is probably the cheapest way to the hp mark but will the engine hold up? I mean, Kaboom!!

I piss on FF cars. Understeering cars that can never push the envelope of racing. Corning and straight performance will always belong to rear wheel or awd cars. FFs are for people who like to play it safe and can't race to the limit. Your in the wrong place to be talking about hondas any way.
As far as the comment on the wet direct port NOS, how much can the 3sgte handle as far as NOS goes?
