Send to me!!!
Seriously though, stall, shift kit and tranny cooler. A friend just got done doing all that to his 00 T/A and that things feels like it is on the bottle. Thats how much of a difference it made.

Are you talking about the car in your sig? If so, why are you asking about CAI, you already have one right?
I can't believe the number of people saying Nitrous and stall. Nitrous is only useful once in a while, and a stall can make the car a pain to drive every day.
A stall is great if you plan to go to the strip all the time, or street race every day. If you want the most for your money, and something that you will enjoy ALL THE TIME, get a new cam, 1.6 RR's and tune. You already have CAI, headers and exhaust, so you are set up well for a cam.
Do a stall after that.

you are crazy... a 2800-3200 stall is PERFECTLY driveable everyday. I drive mine all summer long in traffic and its fine. If you ask me a 2800-3200 stall is more streetable than a cam and new rr's. ESPECIALLY if you are sittin in traffic, a cammed car does not like stop and go. I would know... LOL

Re: Have $1000 to waste what should I do?
It all depends on what your ultimate goals for the car are. If you just want a decently fun but very streetable daily driver, then I'd look into nitrous and a tune. If you're looking into doing a cam anyways, then go ahead and get the converter, tranny cooler, and gears -- and maybe a tune if you've got the cash.
Be weary though, these 4L60Es are not bullet-proof. My went out at 64,000 miles. A complete decently hardcore rebuild was around $1700 plus the cost of the new converter.. you might want to just save yourself the hassle so you don't have the pull the tranny twice.
I am still running factory gears, but with my cammed car the 3000 stall isn't exactly the most friendly when sitting in traffic, but it isn't rediculous either. It definately doesn't idle/creep normally, and sometimes can be a bit moody... but that's the price you pay for the mods you choose to make to your daily driver.
So my final advice to you is before you spend a dime, decide what your ultimate goals for your car are, shoot if you're graduating highschool/college soon, just save the money and possibly look at something newer. It all comes down to what YOUR personal preference is, because it IS your car. Then once you do decide, use that search function... I promise you'll find what you're looking for.
