Default Upgrade advice

OK. I spent the weekend figuring out what I've got under the hood:
f22b1 engine
Greddy 4-2-1 stainless header
Magnacore plug wires/cap
Tanabe G-power Medallion cat. back exhaust

I'm thinking about a CAI or short ram, I'm not sure which yet, so suggestions welcome.
I'm thinking about aluminum pulleys for a lighter load, since my low end torque really stinks. Would they help, or should I go another direction to increase off-the-line accelleration?
I'm considering new injectors if I change the intake, but I'm not sure if it would help.
Just so you know, this is an everyday car--I just want to be able to smoke the occasional punk at a stop light (it makes us older punks feel good).
