Default What to do with $500?

I've decided that I want to spend about $500 on my 07 V6 auto Heat Edition. I am thinking about either lowering kit and CAI, CAI plus tune, Nitrous, etc. I am more concerned with performance than appearance but would like to blend the two if possible. I know $500 isn't much but I'm in college so I'm looking for the best bang for my buck. I just can't justify spending at least $500 for a CAI and Tune for only 10-15 rwh if I'm lucky. Obviously, nitrous is the best hp increase for the money but is it worth the wear and tear on my daily driver? Any help or additional suggestions are appreciated.

Is it worth buying a tuner first and then later purchasing a CAI or should I do both at the same time? AmericanMuscle.com says the DiabloSport Predator gives 15-20 RWHP on the GT and V6. Is this accurate? C & L says that their Tune and CAI package for the V6 adds a maximum of 15 rwhp. Either C & L is a ripoff or American Muscle is not telling the truth. Some input would be appreciated.
