^^^What he said^^^
Off hand, I think it's a sticky in the auto trans section as to converting your trans from one to the other. You will not be able to see upper 400's in horsepower for a grand unless none of that money goes to the swap and you put the entire $1k into nitrous......and even then you'd be looking at low 400's rwhp tops, give or take. One grand will not even get you all the bolt-ons if you are looking to go naturally aspirated. Full exhaust (headers, duals) might be all that gets you (if that), or if you go with economical (cheaper) parts maybe full exhaust and a couple other bolt-ons. (UD pullies, lid, CAI, ported TB, SFC....)
