For $1000?

Gears- $400
Zex kit- $500
BBK 190lph fuel pump- $100



Those prices are pretty optimistic. Gears are a great first mod, and you should look there first.

Are we talking completely stock ride here? If so:

Gears, gears, gears. If it's a 5-speed, get a nice shifter. With the rest, start replacing the stock exhaust. Start at the mufflers and work your way forward until you run out of money.
