Default Mod for the money

Alright I will be done with College in a few weeks. As a present to my self I told my self that I'm going to buy some mods for my car. I think I want to spend around 600 700 dollars. I need your guys input. What would you buy with that amount of money. I will do all the work myself. Here are the mods my car currently has:

95 Camaro Z28 A4
GMMG catback
Prokit
CAI
LCAs

Car has new fuel pump put in 4000 miles ago
Would you go with
Nitrous
Headers and ORY
Cam

Or anything else. Your input please

I'm sure most will say, since you have an A4, to get a stall, and probably a cam.

LT's and ORY. Dont even think about doing a cam without having Headers already. I ran LT's, ORY, GMMG on my '95 and it was the best sounding car I think I've ever heard.

Most power for the dollar -- you can't beat the bottle with a stick. With a new fuel pump you can run a 150 shot no problem.

For $700 you could pull off headers/ypipe and gears.

Yeah the GMMG is so nice sounding, I can't believe the price on it though.

if you can do the work yourself. you can get long tubes and true duals. but since you have gmmg you probably wont want that. i would definately do headers, ory, and gears.

Headers for sure. Then a stall and gears down the road when you have the money. Those mods since your a A4 will give you the most gain.

The car has 125K on it........
I'm really looking to beat fox body with heads cam headers and gears.

Is the bottle worth the filling everytime I need it? I'm really thinking of headers. I'm sure I could do it but what all has to come off before I do it?
Starter? Alt? what else? How long does it take? Thanks

I would go with headers, then nitrous, then build a nice 383. I love the bottle on mine, i beat a 500 rwhp 03 cobra and a supercharged 07 gt with mine on the 150. Watch out its addicting though. I just wish my car had more power without the bottle.
