Nitrous, hands down best bang for your buck. Just do it safely and research it.

You will get a lot of different opinions on this one. If money was no object I would get a supercharger Realistically I would get headers and an exhaust. Wether it's LT's or mids is up to you, but whatever you get make sure it's coated.

A CAI will add HP and more than likely help your fuel economy too. Headers aren't too bad either. Due too the increased flow they generally help fuel economy if you can keep your foot out of it (how often does that happen ).
