Sorry, I though you had some suspension mods.

I would put all my money into that. The few ponies you will get with your limited budget, wont make as big a difference as suspension mods like sways bars, and springs would make, plus you'll make the car a hell of a ot more fun to drive. Id concentrate on those first, then add a little more power later if you can.

It may not seem like it when putting them on, but there's a world of difference between stock and having the bars on. Best (and one of the cheapest) mods I've done to my car.

Oh, and hope you have the back seat already pulled out when you want to put the rear strut tower brace on, otherwise you'll have to pull the center portion down, and remove the seat 'wings' between the fold down portion and the doors. Kinda a pain in the ass.
