1. Plan the entire build. Be realistic with power goals and your budget. Find proven combos of parts that work together, as a complete system. Don't just wander aimlessly and buy random parts, cobbling things together. Define the plan and stick to it.
2. Don't waste money buying **** that doesn't fit your plan.
3. If you haven't yet, learn to work on your own car. Be a man, own a nice set of tools. This hobby is more enjoyable and affordable when you can diagnose and repair issues yourself. Plus, you'll never get put on the back-burner waiting list with shops, if you can do it yourself.

Agreed with all the things above.
This is what I have made for some cars I currently have ongoing.
I am working on a folder in Google Drive that I can have other friends look at and can assist with adjusting. It is nice to have a notes section to leave links to parts, etc.
Obviously, some prices I put down are realistic and some are not. Just a good way to see what kind of money I am going to have to spend.
