Default $1K to spend....need help

Currently I have the following:

-Steeda CAI w/Saleen EXTREME 98mm inlet tube
-Xcal2 custom tune from local SCT tuner
-Pype's mid-muffler system

What is going to make me faster/quicker? I plan on getting 4.10's and Steeda UDP's, but what else?

Electric water pump
Delete plates
Driveshaft
Short shifter (if you're a manual)

Some of those items like the driveshaft might put you over budget. Personally, I would go for the UDP, delete plates, and maybe the electric water pump..

Oh, I know that. It'll definitely help in getting me to my goal of a high 12 second car, for now.

I'm exactly where you are right now.
If I had the $1k, I'd get a one piece driveshaft and gears.
