Currently i have a stock Schumacher Menace with a TT pro .21 in it and i would liek to get a new engine with more power but it still has to rev so i can get that low end acceleration. What engine should i go with and how much does it cost?

I would like to keep it below 200 around 150 would be good. The car itself has a 3 speed, so i want something that would work and get the most out of the engine.

Sportwerks .26 would rip in that car and get you close to the $150 budget and you can get a backplate to drill start it.
For 190, a Picco P3 28 would be insane in tha truck and you can TigerDrive it for drill starts.
To go 'faster' you won't notice much difference with a different engine. Of course, higher quality engines will redline higher, maybe giving you 1-3 more MPH. To go 'faster', as you put it, you need bigger pinions.
A new engine, like the ones mentioned above, WILL give you much better ACCELERATION and response at all parts of the powerband. But for more top speed, get bigger pinions (if you can), when you upgrade the engine.
