$1000. What should I do?

I've got about $1000 now. What should I do? I think my mods are in my sig, but I'll post them just in case.

K&N FIPK
SLP 1 3/4" coated shorties
BBK 52mm TB
!cats
1 flowmaster(I plan on dual bullets in a month or so)

What should I do? I want the most gains...

Could I afford ported/polished heads w/ port matched intake? Any other ideas?

Most of you will probably say cam install, but I want my heads and intake ported first before I do it. Please help!

I would say deffinatly CAI, Headers and Catback.. If I was you I would leave your cats or go with high flow cats. You'll find that everyone will tell you you wont like the sound of no cats. If you have money left after that then look at a Hotcam or CC305 or 306 and maybe some 1.6 roller rockers. Should see some very nice gains from that!

well, you can do a lot of supporting mods like 1.6 rr and electric water pump and possibly get some radio upgrades. That hide away sub is a great buy.

he already has all of that (CAI, headers, Flowmaster)

honestly, I would still go with a cam. If you don't necessarily get $1000 all the time to drop in your car, now is a great time to do it all at once. With the cam kit from Cmotorsports you can do it all for right around your budget.

Alternately, you could do gears (bout $500), Roller Rockers/springs ($400 new, could do it for half that used), get a better converter ($450-$700)...
