Default $1000 + Stock Ls1 = What mods to get? Best Bang 4 $$$??

Well I have a 2002 Camaro SS. Pretty much stock.. MTI airlid..K&N air filter, Magnaflow catback exhaust.. I have some extra cash to give the ride a little birthday present.. so bang for buck what can I do to give it some kick.. I'm not trying to dominate the street.. it's a daily driver.. so gas mileage would still be nice.. but definitely want to wake it up some

M6/A4?

That will help us help you. If you don't have to worry about smog get some LTs and a O/R Y. You'll feel the difference

Not looking to change up tires. Like I said I'm not trying to drag it every weekend, but when a worthy opponent decides to instigate mischief I want to happily hand them their ***. It already does very well. I want a little more sound... so far my thoughts were the headers and ory pipe...I'd love to do a cam.. but don't know if I'd have the money to do all of that and which one should be done first. The sounds of some I've heard with a cam are definitely appealing though.

You cant go wrong with a good stall. It will also be the BIGGEST bang for the buck by far for an A4 car. I would stay around 3600 for what you are looking for.

A stall just lets the car launch at a higher rpm where its more in its powerband. But I would get longtubes and a underdrive pully.

A stall KEEPS you in your power curve and makes a big difference at any MPH when you get on it. If you take a stock M6 and a stock A4 car from a roll the M6 car will out run the A4 car every time with the proper driver. Now you put a nice stall in the A4 car you wont only run with the M6 car but you will leave it. Putting an under drive pulley on your car is about useless.(IMO). I put one on my car and ran the same time and MPH then it did with out it.

A converter is the biggest gain you can get period in an A4 car other than nitrous with out going into the motor.
