Default what would be best?

I have about $1500, and was wondering what i should do next. All i have is the K&N FIPK. Any tips on what i should do next within that budget. Brands and prices would be helpful, and installation is no object for me. I dont have to pay for it.

Some gears for the rearend will really wake your car up plus they're cheap to buy (Richmond or Motive on thunderracing.com) but the headers are a good idea too. Save the catback for later and don't get the Borla. They tend to sag after awhile and are overpriced. If you're M6, definitely get a shifter, Pro 5.0 or B&M, doesn't really matter. Cam too.
$200 for gears
$150 for shifter
$700 for COATED headers
$300 for good COMP cam
You'll be in the 12s guaranteed with this setup and you'll still sound and look like a stocker.

I'd get a set of Hooker LTs/Y-pipe, a cut-out (or X-pipe/duals/dumps), ASP pulley, or maybe even a nitrous set-up. But that's just me...
