I'll second DDM, great to deal with. They currently have a deal on the GP290, $299 for one with pipe and something like $209 without.

I'm still learning my way around 1/5 scale especially in the motor department, what's the difference between CY, Zenoah and RCMK?
I ask cause I have a 5ive and was thinking of a DBXL also and I'm not sure the 23cc will cut it for me.

they are all manufactured by different companies. zenoah and cy have been out for yonks, both have been updated to a 4 bolt pattern (head to case)
zenoah was always supposidly better but in 4 bolt configeration they ate both pretty reliable if tuned and maintained properly.
the rcmk came out later in the rc cars, were used in boats previously but watercooled.ive never owed a rcnk but gizmo have had good results from porting them.
a good tuned pipe will give an increase in power and a big bore kit (28.5 to 30.5cc) will give more torque.
you could try a tuned pipe if you don't already have one then depending on if you want more you can go for a bigbore kit which can still be stock just more cc's or get a ported motor.
you can buy ported motors with various states of tune.eg obr do a race port/pro stock which has work done to it or a fullnod which has more still so nore*power.you can also look into reedcase engines .
to the op.you can buy a longblock which is cheaper then a full engine since you already have a carb, pullstart and clutch on your existing engine which you can use, then a fullmod will be in your price range.
goodluck.
