+1 on the plenum. That should leave you with some money left over so consider throwing in a K&N filter too.

I'm in the same prediction with almost $700 to blow, I'm getting new rotors and pads. Unfortunately I also need a new fuel shutter valve as mine took a sh*t this past Friday.

you can almost get both the hotchkis tvs and a plenum spacer for $650, actually if you went with one of the cheaper spacers like the powerlab, you could do it.
