Default Have 800 to spend what should I buy....

I have the following things done to my car:

kooks LT headers
kooks catted pipe
b&b tri flo
fast toy 85mm lid
k&n
diablosport tune

car is also already lowered. Looking for ideas for what to buy performance wise. I was thinking about the slp 85mm maf as one of the things because later on I plan on getting fast 92/92 anyways along with 228r cam with prc stg 2.5 5.3L heads. What do you guys think? what thing(s) should I buy?

A nice cam would work well with those mods.

+1 on the cam, unless your a A4, pass on the slp maf, get a z06 from gm when you do the intake. Heads are out of your $800 budget.

The car is m6 sorry I should have mentioned that. Also I don't want to do a cam yet because I'd like to do both heads and cam together and I know that'll cost me more then 800 anything else I should do or should I just start saving for the heads and cam? so a z06 maf would work well? Where can I buy one new?

+1 i wish i would have waited a lil longer and couldve done my h/c setup at the same time and saved some money.

but for 800 you can do a cam swap and pick up a ton of hp
