i think you are understating the cost a wee bit unless you want to hook up or break **** like a car that has the power of full engine bolt-ons and 0 suspension mods.
don't get me wrong there is still a significant (initial) savings going to nitrous/suspension/tires/tune as opposed to H/C/I/E/suspension/tires/tune but it is not as must as your post made it sound.

Start with suspension and bolt ons. That will be a good starting platform for any kind of build.
-Subframe Connectors
-Drag Radials or good track tires (depending on what you do with the car)
-Long Tube Headers/Y-Pipe
-Get a QUALITY catback so you don't have to buy one 2+ times.
-1.6 RR w/springs
-ditch the EGR/Air stuff if you can get away with it
-Do the free mods (ditch spare tire/jack and TB Bypass mainly)
-Racetronix 255 fuel pump/hotwire kit (good for about 600hp N/A)
-Shocks/Springs for whatever kind of racing/driving you plan on doing (research research research)
-Built transmission from FLT, performabuilt, or another quality vendor (again, research)
Also, get a dyno tune to start a relationship with a shop, so when you go back for bigger and better things everything is a little more comfortable and familiar with both parties.
These mods will get you started for just about any build, and make your car a bit faster and much more fun to drive in the process.

I haven't been keeping up with current events... CNN, BBC or ls1tech hasn't posted any information on Golen as far as them not having a good product . Someone else can chime in and give more details on them if they want. Though the things that I have heard about them are good. Not to say that there hasn't been any incidents, I don't think there is a place that is incident "free". One things for sure. 400 Hp and "Reliable"... Firebird Formula owner is gonna have to do some homework b4 it all comes together.

Those are just 2 recent ones on here. Yahoo! news and MSNBC have the rest.
