Personally, I would do suspension/chassis first. U/L control arms, springs, shocks/struts, panhard, etc. It will handle so much better you will think you have a different car AND more power.
If you insist on going w/ HP, buy heads (1100-1300 depending which ones), used TFS or rpm II intake, larger MAF (not listed in sig, but you may already have it....), exhuast....

Well, ifyour going for straight line performance, then id either do a Paxton Novi 1000 s/c, or get the TFS kit. If your going for a nice all around car, then go with gears, control arms, u/d pulleys, and exhaust. You would still have a few hundred to spare with the last one.
