Racing clutch/ light weight flywheel --- $500
Aluminum Drive Shaft - $300

driveshaft you dont need and you dont need the intake. take the 500 and get a MGW short throw and then save whatever u have left

the cams will cost almost all 1400. installed.

udps, i'd go with steeda, thats the 200$ you mentioned for cai, just get a k&n if you dont have it now.

super chips, well i wouldnt use a tune for performance but if it can caliberate for gears, then i'd get gears now, and have em installed, all should cost around 4-700$ depending on location, and your connection to a decent mechanic.

idk what you want out of your 1400 and how you wanna spend it. but if you want a smile.

short throw shifter (mgw) : 150$ish
x-pipe: +mil eliminators 200-240$
udps (steeda) 200$
clutch + flywheel 4-600$

still leaves some extra for a catback if you dont have it, or a set of l/t's.

why the a/c compressor?

Minus the flywheel also. Waste of money if you ask me.

If getting a shifter. You might try the MGW for $180.00

Cams = like they stated above.

Forget the CAI (waste of money) save up for an SC

Driveshaft is a 50/50 yes/no imo
