Default What should I do?

Hey everyone,
I'm getting my taxes back and after paying bills, I'll have about 1000 to spend on the stang. right now i have trick flow street heat upper/lower intake, 75mm maf, 70mm tb, cai, headers, bassani exhaust, aluminum driveshaft, subframe connectors, 255 fuel pump.

now my question, what should i do with the money? here's what i've been thinking: 24lb. injectors, eibach springs, cobra wing, wheels/tires, short throw shifter, heads, whatya guys think? if you can think of anything else, let me know. obviously i could do a couple of these things, like shifter, injectors, and springs.

Well, you're not making near enough power to justify 24# injectors so I wouldn't worry about those. I voted heads.
If you want more power, that's the way to go. If you want looks, go wheels and tires.
I would go with twisted wedge heads myself. You can run the 2.02 intake valves without piston mods. But since you are limited to $1000, I would suggest Edelbrock performer 5.0 pedistal mount heads so you can reuse your stock rocker arms and such.

The Patriot heads would require roller rockers and possibly pushrods which will put him way over 1K.
