Default Second wave off mods???

I am looking to invest a little more money in the performace of my vette and wondered what you thought of my choices.
* Triiple Air Intake(K&N)
* 1000 cfm Mass Air Flow Housing
* Fuel Pressure Regulator
* Hypertech Power Tuning Module
* (A 52mm Throttle Boby was one of my choices but from what i understand it wont do any good at the moment with these mods)

Any pros or cons of my choices would be greatly appreciated.

I think the going opinions are:

K&N is good but no improvement over the K&N you already have (it does look cool, however)

1000cfm MAF - no help (you could just remove the screens on your stock MAF).

AFPR - little or no help on a stock engine.

Hypertech - good to set fans to come on at a lower temp. (I've heard that the performance settings were detrimental to performance).

52mm TB, no help - no harm.

youre better off adding one or two of these later, after doing a head/cam job. Id do the hypertech and remove the MAF screens, then save my money for the hotcam

I'd do some gears, the 4.10 is just right for a 6 speed LT1. Nothing is going to make your Vette faster for the money (except for N20). Also a Hurst shifter will make your 6 speed even better. What about some new swaybars?
