Default Are these mods worth it for 1K?

Trying to think if this would be worth it. Right now my 02 has underdrive pulleys, x pipe, borla catback, and 3:55 gears. I was trying to think if spending the cash (probably about 1K dollars) on a accufab plenum/TB combo, densecharger CAI, and predator tuner would be worth the gains i will see or should I just throw that 1K into a supercharger fund and save up to get huge gains from that. Whatever SC i would get would be in the 2-3K range. Any opinions?

I'd continue doing bolt-ons and save the blower for last, you'll j ust have to keep re-tuning your car to adjust for mods if you install a blower before you finish modifying everything you want.

I agree get the bolt-on's and then when you are done with them get the blower.

The Predator, CAI, and UDP's become useless once he gets the supercharger. If anything, I'd look to get headers because they really work well with a s/c. The TB/Plenum as well. Other than that, I'd look to upgrade the suspension for the future power.
