Default What shoud i mod next?

I'm gonna have about $6k soon and spring/summer is coming up. i already have exhaust, plenum spacer, test pipes, intake, rims, and springs. im just wondering if anyone has any suggestions about what i should do next. should i keep it NA or boost it? or should i just go for visuals? what would you guys do to your Z. btw its an 05 redline with black XXR 521 gold rivits rims and HKS exhaust to give you a better visual of it.

It's your money, not mine. It's also your car, not mine. Do what you want

Why would he do that when he can just throw a supercharger on the car?

Don't get a hks supercharger, weak! A vortech supercharger would be your best bet and run around 400rwhp with a great tune and you will be set.

If you have the dough and you really want to spend it, I'd do it right the first time and go with a good set of coilovers instead of the springs.

Edit: but you'll also be looking at camber arms, toe bolts, balancing, aligning, and labor (if you're not installing them yourself). Slippery slope my friend
