First mod for 06 350Z
If you have $1500 to spent, what mod would you do first on a 06 350Z?
Thanks.

if it were me, i'd go wheels. you may have to save a bit more for the exact ones you want, but it's a hell of a start then. just my opinion.

if you got that much, I'd probably do performance first. I don't go dress up until the Z gets some go fast.
Pullies, intake, lower & upper plenums. could probably get it all for under that price and have some left over.

A a day at a track event. Not the drag strip. Also consider the BEL RX65 & the JWT PopCharger over the CAI!

lol same here. Its been 3 weeks since I had my Z now and Its still stock
I am thinking of purchasing a Pop Charger from JWT myself but I'm still thinking about it.
Not trying to take the thread or anything but is it true that the Pop Charger makes a sound that is similar to the BOV?

-1 to fixing the driver. It doesn't matter if you are an amazing driver. When you have more power, you feel it. The car moves when you hit it. That's what you're looking for, not necessarily intended for tracking or dragging.
I don't think many people understand that it's not about how the car does at the track or whatever.
