Default Good Mod for around $300?

As you can tell by my sig, I have a JLT CAI and Brenspeed Tune on the way and already I'm craving more!! I was wondering what you all thought would be a good "bang for your buck" mod for around $300? I'm looking more at performance mods than anything else. My first thought was Steeda UDP's (especially since Brenspeed is offereing 10% off all Steeda stuff!) - although I have heard mixed reviews on them. What do you guys think?

If you can't get to 2nd and 3rd quick enough, for around 380 install get a short throw shifter, if you have a 5 speed

I'd do the UDP's, that's next on my list of mods. I have had them on almost ever vehicle I have owned out here in cool Arizona and never had any problems. They give a nice gain throughout the power band.

That nut on the short throw shifter is just out of place. That would bug me just a little, I'd hit the hardware store and swap it out with a chrome one.

the short throw is a great option. I think im leaning towards the UDP - that with the CAI/tune should result in some noticeable gains I'd imagine

Save some more cash and get a 1 pc driveshaft? Or is that better to do after udp's?
