I'm not in Jersey, just saw your post and thought I would inquire. My price point is also north of what you are looking to spend, good luck in your search.
call this guy in Camden, NJ he has a couple of potential toy for you. Name is Chele (609) 841-1553. I know he's got an 87 TR tuning for low 11s in your price range, post here for updates, good luck
