My next inexpensive upgrade?

Hey guys any ideas on my next logical inexpensive upgrade?
This is what I already have:
1996 Maxima GLE automatic
Cold air intake-Y-pipe (stock cat B-pipe & muffler)
Sway bar w/ new tires, and front strut bar
Don's VB upgrade
NOS 70 shot kit
These are upgrades I am thinking about:
--underdrive pulley
--intake manifold-extrude hone or VI?
--cat B-pipe and muffler
--cams

do an intake manifold, it will probably be most benefitial, the pullies wont make that big of a difference, but you have quite a bit on your car already, maybe its time to save for a supercharger

I would suggest

I would have to say a VI just for the fact that you would get the most bang for your buck that way, and it is several hundred cheaper than cams. And having high end power rocks. The extrude hone wouldn't be bad with the NOS setup but don't expect a lot of gains from that. I would say VI then cams . Cams are the next thing on my list to do, along with a turbo

I wish it was only $1000 or so for custom piping and parts. But maybe after a 24 pack I wouldn't realize that I actually spent about 2500-3500 for all the parts and custom piping.
