Best way to spend $ 400 on my road bike?

I have a Specialized Allez Sport with Shimano 105 rear derailleur, wheels and tires Alex AT 400, everything else is Tiagra. I have $ 400 in the budget for cycling improvements this winter. What will give me the best bang for the buck? Wheels new (perhaps Mavic Open Pros / Dura-Ace?)? Change as many components as possible? Brakes again? Something I have not thought of? Sell the bike, save more money and buy more? I ride 50/50 on mountain climbing in Provo Canyon, Utah and apartments. I want to go fast, like everyone else. The weight training and running off-season is going well. This question has to do with the team.

OK – I third the motion. Wheels! Some of the sweet deals on wheels at this time year. As an example http://www.performancebike.com/ or Dura-Ace Mavic. Cheap! I saw some Mavic is there for $ 89 and $ 119 breeding fronts. As the mirage that sent impeccable response once stated, "an ounce saved on the wheels, is like a pound of the frame." You can lighten the structure, so lighten their wheels. Now buy low-resistance tires: Vittoria Open Corsa Evo http://www.biketiresdirect.com/search_results.asp?cat=ra are # 1 in the lower rolling resistance (and have Tubular must feel wonderful … Yes!) Michelin Pro 2 is # 2 in the lower rolling resistance and come in colors. Continental Grand Prix 4000S (the S is the key) is a about 3. I have the Conti case in which the sweet corner. Read about them in that place – I will not go into that. If you have enough left over for their offers to fetch bearings Ceramic BB: I do not think http://www.bocabearings.com/main1.aspx?p=docs&id=7 spent all your money for you, have fun. Travel faster.
