(at least to this forum haha)GT Motorsports. They're the one you want to take your Z for tuning.
Sam is the BEST, end of story.

Also don't think that 300hp and 07 with 306hp only has 6hp difference..the 07s would be at 313-315hp under the old SAE ratings.
Anyhow, only like two people on this forum hit 300whp mark NA with a LOT of effort, so unless you build your engine it's highly unlikely you'll reach 300whp.
I think it's now time for you to use search function and browse the forum for a while..there's plenty of info out there.

in that case, maybe you should do your own research and get what you want and not what other suggest. that is unless you want people to tell you what do do with your money, because in that case i would say to hang onto it and invest it wisely. because sving it for mods or not, you will still kick yourself in the long run if you blow it all now. but hey, you do what you want.

Volks
New or used with new tires
Lug nuts
2,500 - 3,000
Coilovers
1,500 - 2,500
BBK front or all around
2,000 - up
I would cover these 3 big purchases first. Then use the remaining amount of $$ on the engine bay. This gives you a chance to research which path you would like to take your Z ( NA or FI ) before you start dumping money in the wrong direction.
