Default next mods?

I have an 08 GT500...mods shown in the sig. Was wondering what I should do next to get the most bang for the buck. The higher I go on the mods the more expensive they get. I would like to get the whipple...but right now I prob need to stick with something for under a grand. Any ideas?

unfortunately shorty headers are around 800, and long tubes are 1500...and with installation and tuning there's not much gain I'll get getting with a lot of $ spent

hmmm...

thinking about your question and seeing everything you've already done, I'm going to say, save the $1,000 for that Whipple install & tune.
