Best mods I did was-
1. Headers~300
2. Brakes~250
3. Suspension~900 for springs, struts, sways and the extra stuff I replaced at the time I did it.

I'll prolly go with the CAI then. Thanks for the info!

Anyone know the average cost of an installation/difficulty of doing it yourself? (I know a few people who have the tools)

A CAI install? Its easy as hell. Some say you have to remove the bumper, but as long as you jack the car up a little, you can move the splash shield and get to everything. It should take an hour, tops.
