If I were you I spend the $1000 dollars on a gold plaque with the enscription "That's it for THIS car" on it 
That way you can sit back and laugh hysterically at it in the years to come after you find out exactly how far you're going to wind up going lol !

A stall & nitrous, do you have headers yet? A set of DRs, correct? There are so many things you COULD do. I guess it depends on what you plan for next year. Buy something that will build on that. You can never have too many suspension parts. Not only do they help the car hook up, they also keep it from twisting into a pretzel.
The basics are let the air in, and let it out. For an LS1 that means a lid, K&N filter, ported tb, headers & cat-back. Then you can start thinking cam & intake. If you do a cam, you should also get a new opti spark, so that is probably more than $1k. LS1 brakes would be good too. I dunno.....too many choices.

Yep, what he said...There will never be enough...the faster you go, the faster you want to go..It's just a continuous viscous cycle...

Actually, what I would do is take some of that money and find out why it's not performing off bottle... 
Me and Ellis still want to know what the deal is....I would hope that mid to low 12's @ 108 to 110 mph trap speed, would be the result on engine only.
