Default BEST CHEAPEST MODS FOR THE Z

I was curious out there on what mods are the best bang for the buck...

i put a injen intake on with the borla true dual and it gave me quite a bit of more power and cost around 1k for the both.

I just ordered up a throttle body plate but i really dont know if it will make a difference without porting the heads but seeing as how the intake and exhaust worked so well i figured opening up a little more air flow couldnt help.

anyone else got any cheap mods that they did and it helped?

Just get an after market intake, full exhaust, and plenum spacer. Its not super worth going any farther than that unless you want to go all out and SC or TT or ST. My opinion by the way.

Edit: You already have intake/exhaust....So get the spacer. It works wonders. I can tell a differnce on my bro's 350z who has it and mine which doesn't..same year same engine same mods, mine doesn't have a spacer.
