Take the car to a trusted shop with experience in 350Z forced induction. Leave them the car and $20,000. Tell them to 'make the car fast," and you will pick it up in a week. Pretty simple.

That should be enough to get a pop charger at least..

Check out these threads before you do anything:

The FI thread is littered with the engines of fellow Z owners who jumped in before doing their homework. Go to some meets and talk with some bros. with turbo.

i am guessing you dont know much about aftermarket parts? i highly recommend you learn about the engine and learn about forced induction. i would also get into driving your car. you need to know your car well before you start force feeding more air into the engine.

i would get some wheels and exhaust as your first mods.

OK.. here you go in proper order:

1: Use the Forum Search before posting.. this is now the 1000th thread asking what someone should mod first.

2: If you can not find info then create a thread. the THREAD TITLE should be descriptive of the information you seek.. not ambiguous like "what should I do"

3; Wash, rinse, repeat.
