did you get it yet? I agree with waiting, you never know what you'll discover after the first few days of driving.

And 155mph: S2000 antenna and try typing shorty antennas + 350z in google shopping. I know how u feel, I replaced mine right away.

Helmet, and lots of HPDE time. Save the rest for brakes and tires when they wear out.

I've done some searching but I must not be searching well as I get hundreds of hits that don't tell me anything. I was looking for any definitive gains from under drive pulleys. Can anyone point me to to threads where UD pulleys are and their real, not imagined, gains are discussed?

either wheels and coilovers, or save for a turbo kit. you should find a kit on here used for around 3.5k with it being fine. dont waste your money on bolt ons, its the stupidest thing to do if you want a fast z. so much money and you cant even break 300whp unless youre spending around 8k.

I did the plenum and under drive set on my 06' rev-up at the same time..
I noticed a nice gain on the butt dyno.. And the car seemed to run better.. Smoother through the rpms.. It reduces rotational mass like a light flywheel..
Guaranteed power.

Good idea...I always take about a month before I pull the trigger on something when car shopping. I have to make sure its EXACTLY what I want.

For granted when I found my Z, it took about a week...but I did a lot of research in that time

Get wheels and tires off of the Market place on here, will run you about 1500 bucks. Then go get a nice double din radio about another 500 for a pioneer P4100. Then add a plenum spacer and some tint. I have 2200 saved up and thats what im about to use it on. Install it all yourself its preety simple.

Im about to spend the same amount on my car and im gonna do wheels, drop, and some tint. Oh and the short antenna can come off of a civic SI as well. I took my antenna from my 02 civic si and put the 350z long one on the SI and then i sold the SI with that antenna!

I'm a performance junkie, so if u already have intake and headers, I would get, under drive pulley, spacers, High flow cats, plenum, exhaust, and reflash.
