Need help deciding on next mod

I currently have APS turbo back exhaust, APS cold air intake, APS dual vent bov, and APEXi SAFC II on my evo. I can't decide what I should do next, I want a good gain in HP but I don't have a ton of money right now because of school . I'm lookin to spend around 1,000. Any suggestions?

It could, but most people who get a tune say they continue to get decent MPG.

There are two basic settings for the fuel pump: low flow and high flow. If you remove the rear seats, you can hear it when it switches to high flow. Very high pitched wine. If you drive calmly and try avoiding going into high flow, maybe you can save a few dollars at the pump. But I really don't think a fuel pump will affect your MPG a whole lot IMO.

You increase fuel flow/pressure and that the only ill effect is you will run rich (hurts fuel economy), but if you get it tuned, the injectors open/close faster because of the diff flow rate and it will even out. Shouldnt be any negative mpg, mabye even some more miles per gallon after the tune from leaning it out some.
