Cool OC custom Procharged 350z...Need Suggestions!

Hi-

I live in Southern California, just purchased a sweet custom 350z with MUCHO potential. I purchased it salvage and I want to make it a
street/ track monster for cheap .I am fairly firmiliar with how everything works, having owned 4 performance vehicles in the past, but I have a couple of newb questions.
I'm diving right into this project! And this is how it goes..

Project: Boost ocZ

Car: 2005 350z 6-speed coupe base model
Current Body Modifications: Custom kit + slr fenders / 2-toned blue black metallic

Objective: all-out street/track rwd power

Purchased & Needed for Completion:

need coilovers

purchasing 18x8.5/18x9.5 rota torque-r wheels
need suggestions on sic tire sizes for front and rear to get a perfect drop without rubbing

purchased A Procharger 7.0psi Supercharger kit for an 05 350z

need suggestions on injectors / fuel pump / fuel rails. I do want to upgrade

need suggestions on tuning

need suggestions on porting+spacing OR replacing intake manifold along w/TB

DEFINATLY need suggestions on the exhaust setup being as I am an exhaust nut. So far I'm in love with the Greddy Evo 2 exhaust, and RNR exhaust, but there may be better flowing exhausts with larger diameters that sound just as goo?
I would love suggestions on the best flowing/fitting header for this supercharged 350.

Any choice shops in the so-cal area you can suggest?

Can't wait to get started! Supercharger arrives end of this week
Thanks guys!

hey welcome to the site! good find on the Z. I think i will be the first to tell you that if you are looking for a cheap street track monster you have the wrong platform. Unless a 10 g's is cheap then be prepared to spend that much. If it was me and i wanted a pure street/ track i would go for something like 300zx or 1g talon awd. As you said you have done this before but from what ive read its not cheap to do this. Good luck though i hope everything turns out great!

What is a BBK?
I'm looking for all the performance products I can get my hands on.

I'm going to check out the classifieds right now.

Can anyone answer any of my Q's?

Big Brake Kit

The stock brakes will fade on you fast at the track....they are undersized for how heavy the car is....and how fast it can go

I had a company in San Diego do it, but I would recommend you go to GT Motorsports for any work you need done.

Thanks for the compliments. I am starting the remodel on the body right now and will be doing the interior soon also.

Ya it's pretty sweet I think.
I'm going from a 03 Evolution 8 to a 05 350z.
I finished building my evo, sold it, and picked up a 350z to start building / boosting.
I wish I could go your route, rebuild engine low compression then turbo at 18-20psi but that's aaaaaaaaaaaaaa lot of $-$. I'm going to see what I can get out of the procharger kit and other modifications to help that s/c out.

That's why I asked about injectors, fuel pump, headers, exhaust, ect.
I'm just starting to look into everything made for a vq35 so suggestions help

You are going to need wider tires all around. With all that power, you're going to find yourself with not too much grip. 10.5'' rear and 9.5'' front is what a lot of forum members here run. The wider rims will also make your z look badass!
