Default Best Bang for the buck cheap mods

Hi All. Now that I have my spankin new 06 Z love child I want to put on the easy to do mods that don't cost a lot but give you a lot. Was thinking of adding a pop charger and perhaps the grounding wire kit? Has anyone noticed a difference after using the grounding wire kits? All of these items are on http://www.courtesyparts.com/350z/performance.html. Is this a good company? Also, do the "Turbonator" type devices actually work? Seems like it would restrict airflow. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. I'm not looking to Turbo or SC or any heavy mods. Thanks for your help! My last ride was a 16 year old 240sx!

There really are no cheap mods with significant gains. A popcharger is a good bet if for nothing else you can reuse the filter.

oh and ground wire kits dont do anything at all! I bought one and all it did was give me a little better idle. Pop charger is pretty good. I would do test pipe and exhaust...but the best bang for your buck mod has to be the plenum spacer and mrev+2.....that and a little searching might make your car faster

Buying an 07. What are the must have mods??

I am looking forward to purchasing my Z after driving a 240sx for 16 years! I am going to get a loaded touring coupe with nav but wondered about must have mods that are best bang for the buck. I can...


Did I comment on the same question last month?
