You could do nitrous. I dunno if $1000 would cover a complete turbo and all the fixins.

If you're gonna get a turbo later on then I don't think you should get cams now...
Put it in the bank and keep saving

Save that money and wait for a turbo. It'll make more power than all the little things you're going to end up doing.

cams or suspention (coilovers). believe me suspention will help acceleration even on a stock car.

Buy your fuel managment, its something you MUST have before turbo, buy your kit piece by piece it encourages you to get it faster

since you got all your basic breathing done... why don't you balance it out by hooking up your sparks and feul. get a better ignition... like the MSD SCI, with some Blaster ss coils, plugs and wires.... this is good in the future for turbo... doing your feul, like the regulator, pump, and rail, is sometimes included in the turbo kits (if you get a kit). I'm in the same predicatment...
