1st mod - 3" cutout - $30 (I did a manual cutout, you will never close it)
2nd mod - Shifter - $200 (I have a Hurst Billet, it comes with a shift ****)
3rd mod - lid - $100 (SLP has nice fit and finish)
Paper filters are cheap and flow fine.
Those 3 mods are must haves. Anything after that is your choice.
Have fun!!!

Since you're in SoCal, LT headers are out, so are most other things too, how about some giggle gas (AKA Nitrous) easily cocealable, and when not in use has no effect on emmisions, and 100 hp at the push of a button

nitro is the only thing that i really wanted to stay away from. this is my daily driver and dont trust the rest of the car (and myself) with nitro!! what about some heads, or a fast manifold? would you guys go with those or no.. i want to keep it at 1k so i cant do both. 
there are thousands of these, "what would u do with $1000" threads.
im going to sum it up for you.
lid, ls6 intake, SFC, LCA, good clutch, ported tb, LT's(if u can deal with emmisions), DR's.
everyone has there own variation to this formula, but thats the jist of it.
