And I'd like to be the Formula 1 World Champion.

Neither are going to happen.

For your price range the only thing you might be able to do is get a
Bluebird turbo set-up, a JWT ECU to run it, and a few odds and ends to
finish the project.  It will probably still go over your budget though.

Expect high 13s if you get everything tuned right.
