best mod for under 500....

Hi everybody im new to the forum i just purchased a 95 firebird formula. Im looking to do some performance mods to it. So my questions are

1. Is there a website that shows a good mod list and what order to do them?

2. What do you think the best performance mod would be for under $500*all i have right now*

3. Damn it feels good to own a lt1!

headers with stock cat back? i guess you could do headers and then put a cut out on the y-pipe, that way you could leave your stock exaust for everyday driving

I defiently agree...first mods that i would do would be a catback and cold air. If you dont do it now, eventually when u get into modding, you will need to have them done.

or catback and the shock tower brace and subframe connectors.....but i'd start with a cold air intake and catback first.....
