Default Ok here is my plan.

My B-day is tommorow and i have been saving for some Z parts + my girl is giving me about $1000 and i have about $1100 saved in change lol i love those poland spring 5 gallon things. Anyway This is my plan let me know what you guys think. My Z is stock right now. It is an 04 Touring.

Motordyne 5/16 basic plenum spacer
JWT Popcharger

These 2 are definite. I am just confused on whether to get HKS Hi-power True duals or this http://fastbrakes.com/shop/product_i...oducts_id=1108

I want to go FI in the future. What do you guys think? I thought this is an excellent deal for BBK

Ask yourself this question: "Do I want my car to sound louder or stop better?" and you will have your answer.
IMO, if you're not going to track your car, a BBK is a waste of $$$$$.

True, but that's where you'll be happiest.

What are your intentions for the car? Occasional track days/performance, street/strip racing or pure bling?

Honestly, I think it's kind of silly (my opinion) to spend so much money for a cat back exhaust. The gains on all of them are extremely comparable. What I did was purchase a Vibrant resonator and have it welded inline from basically a straight pipe and then back into a pair of mufflers. Less bends equals less restriction and it only cost me about $300 total for the whole exhaust. I would then use the rest of that money for other mods (lightweight flywheel, clutch, 3.9 final drive gear set, etc.). Just my 2 cents.

Can i get some pics? And where can i have a custom exhaust made? How is sound and it it true dual like HKS?

As for the rims i will look into the classifieds and vendors some more but so far i cannot find anything. I was going to get a Pioneer headunit but i decided I can get that later this summer Bose will do for now

popcharger isnt going to get you that much power ... and you're going to go FI in a few months anyways ... so why not spend the money to look good right now, and later on you will look good AND have power. both ways you win. having FI after jwt will just make you laugh at yourself cuz you'll notice so much more power. i agree with others, rims and a drop +1

If you drop, do your research on springs/coilovers. There are alot out there. More than likely you'll need a rear camber kit as well (to get your alignment/camber back within spec). Since you'll be dropping all the bank on wheels/tires/drop...you might as well get the sway bars too. Adds up .
