Smile Next Modd for '13 GT? $500 worth?

Hey guys,
Got decent size bonus this month and of course its going right in for some modds!! Well after bills and all are paid off I have about $500 to play around with. So Far I have a Steeda CAI with Tune, BBK Lower Control Arms, 3.73 gears (being installed soon), Borla S-types Axles and Boss H-pipe with side pipes and a few other appearance modds. My car is a DD i drive about 25-30 miles a day (just sharing just in case) I dont track it but its something I want to do in the future along with a Supercharger.Aanyways Im not sure what to get next. I have a few things in mind, BBk 85mm TB, Boss Manifold, Accel SuperCoils. Maybe even some suspension modds? any suggestions? Insight? Experience?
Thank in advance you guys.

I would personally go with the boss manifold which is right around your price point

Did you notice a difference with lower control arms, absent any other suspension mods?

I have the Boss Manifold, its not a bad upgrade....But as a daily driver myself I don't really get the revs that high...It looks great and makes a nice hint (very slight) of hollow sound that you can hear in the cabin. It pulls all the way to the red, but again, I don't drive like that very often....

I also have the 85mm BBK throttlebody, it smoothed out the throttle response and acceleration somewhat, enough that I would buy it again.

I think if I had the money back for the Boss Manifold, I think I might have opted for the Accel Super Coil On Plug Kit.

Well I'll say it wasn't a HUGE difference BUT i did feel better take off than stock and when i went into sports mode I could definitely feel more of a difference. (I have auto)

So in your opinion your saying Accel SuperCoils first, BBK 85mm TB second and Boss Mani 3rd?

I wouldn't do the accels, I have talked with many folks about this as I considered it once and they are learning the stocks perform better than the accels.

I would go with the boss Mani, if that is your thing but you will lose some torque.

Car looks nice.
