Help me spend my money.

Okay so I've got a 2002 GT with flowmasters, ram air, k&n cold air, and lowered. I've got about $1,000 to spend on some upgrades. What should I start with? I was thinking about pulleys, headers, a tuner, 3:73 gears and the BBK throttle body/upper plenum combo. What are your thoughts? Thanks for any help.

Yes to gears
No to pullies. I couldn't tell a differnce with mine. Turned around and sold them.
Yes to tuner
Yes to short tube headers. Longtubes are a hassle.
And to get the most out of the plentum and tb you will need a tune.

Tuner and gears, both make a very nice difference. AM has a nice combo pack that has free lifetime tunes.

+1 on tuner. I'd do that first actually with the 3 custom tunes because you get free tune rewrites when you add any new stuff you buy and tuning gives you instant and noticeable performance gains...course I did it backwards like a dummy and my exhaust and other more will be on first then the tunes.

Just curious, did the sale go better facing backwards for some reason?

Next time you sell something give it a try. You might be surprized what happens
