Conflicted about what to do next.
I'm wanting to do one more mod before I get the tune done on my car. I can't figure out logistically which should be my next step. Trying to decide between JWT Performance Flywheel/Clutch, a set of cams, or equal length headers. I like the Brian Crower & Tomei cams but not sure if they make them for the Rev up, so I was looking at the JWT S7 set...? On the headers I was looking at either Z1 or Stillen (equal length). This will probably be my last mod for quite some time
so I want to make sure I do it up right. Looking for suggestions and some direction. Is there something else more pressing that I'm overlooking?
I currently have:
AEM Cold Air Intake
MD MREV2 w/spacer
MD ART Pipes
HKS Hi Power Exhaust
Thanks in advance!

If you are doing flywheel and clutch upgrade master and slave cylinder to Wilwwod and Z1 slave. Trust me you will get about 10kmiles after you upgrade your clutch and flywheel using oem slave and master cylinders, and then you will get the weak clutch pedal feel. Personally I would just leave your cams alone and get your car tuned now.
Personally, if I was gonna do it again I'd just go with 4.08's. The difference you'd feel with gears will outweigh any exhaust mods. However, the JWT clutch/fly isn't a bad idea either. Equal lengths would be nice on a DE, but compared to a new clutch/fly or gears, their value per dollar spent would be questionable.
I would run the stock clutch into the ground, get the upgraded clutch kit later when it fails. It's not like you're making 50+ more torque where you would need an upgraded clutch asap. Might as well squeeze every last drop of life the stock one still has. Get the headers and a $500 standard Z1 tune where you can reflash your car in the future right now. Then later when you want the cams you get em and then the new clutch and then reflash as many times as you want. I vote headers and standard tune now.
i wouldn't waste my time with shorty headers.... not worth the cost of the install darlin (imho), if you are going to spend the time and money on labor, go big or go home. 4.08 gears are good, but keep in mind your gas mileage will go down and you will be at higher rpm on the freeway. i think that 3.7 gears are perfect, you get the added spunk without the high rpm and loss of mpg. rear diff makes a huge difference, but like the clutch won't affect it on the dyne

You have some nice items on your car, I'd recommend UpRev tuning if you don't already have it! Looking at the post I like the clutch/flywheel/csc/master/ss lines combo as possible next; zspeed and czp have some nice kits. As mentioned already the headers can be a pricey mod unless you can do them yourself. Also consider the fd gears!

Would a Nismo diff cover fit either one of those? Any idea on labor costs to do the whole thing?

that do you like, quickly before the fog moves in, tell me.... that do you like (if you get that .... i will be impressed)
another thing you want to do, rear diff bushing (the yellow thing)
btw, DAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN, that looks sexy, oh that is my car..... EXPLAINS IT ALL

Got a link?
....It wasn't a total waste of a search though....I came across a hilarious thread about a girl ricing out her Z in pink (smh)
Btw...DAAAAAAAAAAAMN your suggested pumpkin mod is expensive. I think I might go for it though. I need to call around for some labor estimates first.
