Ready to upgrade BUT what?

Well got a $1000 to use towards the car but i am not sure what i really want...so far i am leaning towards a set of cams BUT should i get cams with spring and retainers or just the stage one cams? also thinking of getting a MBC or an evo9 BOV since my greddy flutters, or UICP and LICP? What do you guys think i should get? So far the car is an 03 with 45k miles and this is what THE CAR HAS SO FAR IN IT....

THE CURRENT MODS.

1) Turbo XS intercooler
2) Samco radiator hoses
3) boost, oil and egt gauges
4)turbo timer
5)HKS TBE
6) greddy type S bov
7)hks intake
8)255 walbro pump
9) shifter bushings

MBC and Evo9 BOV for sure. You run the stock exhaust? If so get a TBE and a drop in filter.

are those your mods you have so far above? if so definatly go with mbc, licp, 02 housing, fuel pump, then maybe look for a tactrix cable for self modding. With these mods you will be right around $700.
