Default What next?

I have an $800 budget for the next upgrade to my car. The full specs on my car are in my signature. I want to go with performance before looks, but any advice would be appreciated. Basically what is the most bang for my buck??

Explain this?

What could be done for the $800 that would add the MOST HP/Torque?

Nitrous, no way around it, nitrous will probably always be the best bang for the buck.

50-75 hp for $500, can't beat that. But some people don't like to squeeze (like me)

Well, you just said performance, you didn't say most horsepower. Not being a smart ***, but it was the first thing that came to mind (since I own a set) when you wanted something for 800 dollars. I happen to like mine, and would reccomend them if you wanted to modify your suspension.

Oh, and if you dont like the nitrous idea, you could get a set of cam gears, a full cat-back exhaust (if you didnt custom pipe the rest already), and perhaps buy some dyno time to optimize all the modifications? Just some ideas.

Other then NOS, what would give me the biggest HP/TQ gain in say, 1/4 or 0-60. That's all I am looking for is off the line power. Type-R throttle body? A chip? Cams? Tranny?
