Split engine/IC system?

Soon after resolving/repairing ABC, trunk, and I/C pump issues (ordered Bosch pump), going to do the Eurocharged tune and blower pulley combo. Down the road: I/C upgrade or I/C upgrade in line with stock I/C? Topped off with Eurocharged headers.
Questions to those who wish to chime in: Is splitting the I/C circuit worth the effort (power) and $$$?
Is placing upgraded I/C in line with stock unit a complicated install and is this worth the effort and $$$?
Last but most important: Was the money spent on holiday gifts less expensive and more enjoyable than just taking a holiday vacation with your immediate family, girl or guy friend(s)?
Happy Holidays!

Include a quaife differential in your build, the gearing/grip you gain from this single mod is equally as important as your horsepower+cooling mods.
