sux but it could be worse i guess 
Its been a while since
15k got me FI plus 12-bolt, clutch, suspension, fuel, brakes... It can get you pretty far... On a stock block! 
Phase two (
) is seeming to be around 10k... That'll be for forged internals (stock block), fuel, gear swap, clutch swap, turbo swap 
(that one's gonna hurt!), meth injection, custom cam, heads, etc...
I say at least 20k for a serious effort, ~15 psi or so...
Oh, and in a blink, too!!!
I play the lottery, but I'm not winning.
If you have a garage and tools, this can be cut down quite a bit.

lmao....no i was shooting for $10k....but i decided to do the tranny and add some other trick stuff so the price tag went up....BUT....i DID do my entire motor and FI and clutch and fuel for ~$10k so yeah i did accomplish it,for all the haters,lol 
my plan is to get efilive and learn to tune.
then get an sts turbo and install on my stock camaro running 5psi
that should cost about 4500$
then ill upgrade the fuel system, valvetrain, and get meth or an intercooler and run 7-8 psi
that should be 1500-2000$ more
i will do the install myself and have free access to a welding shop. goal is for a street car
wishful thinking? please let me know if I am missing any expenses

slightly wishful thinking, but you could certainly get by with a very streetable car with that plan. Throw in a few extra hundred for guages and little things that add up quick.
Fuel, valve train, and intercooler/piping might run you a little more though.
