Possible upgrades?
I was just wondering how much an ECU performance chip, and maybe a new intake, would really help my XFire's performance. Are these things worth the money?
What else can I do, such as exhaust, cams, headers?
And are there any suggested stores, companies, or parts?
Much appreciated

NO to ECU chips - all a rip off.
1. Needswings Single / Dual Cold Air Induction ( CAI ).
2. 74 mm throttle body upgrade
3. new set of plugs / wires ( Needswings also )
4. Eurotune
( I believe Rob (needswings) is also about ready to release the performance headers also )
O, and get an oil catch can
If you got BIG bucks, read the thread on here about Corky's turbo charger upgrade.
( in that order )
Where are you located ?

Yes I am N/A, and I read a thread about ECU chips shortly after 180 gifted me with the clicky. It did seem too good to be true anyways...
I have a decent amount of money to spend. I'd like to NOT dump a lot at once, but slowly work at spicing things up a bit. Maybe not go over $1,500 anytime soon.
Did you mean plugs and wires for the ECU or just everything in general?
