Default Looking for some advice

I'm looking for a bit of advice...

I am about to come into a good chunk of money and have the opertunity to put some into my Z. How much? About 6K. Thats not an earth changing amount, but it's enough to fullfill some of my wet dreams

So I have already ordered some 18' Nismo LMGT4s with Nitto555's to fit on them. They don't count in the equation. I have been drooling over a TT for a long time now, but herd JWT is working on a TT kit and would like to see what they come out with. That leaves me money burning a hole in my pocket for my Z.

I saw a post awhile back about a 500hp NA Z, but cant find it now. I want to maxzamize my power and possibly do some suspension work. Max power weighs out looks tho. 6K will buy the TT kit from Greddy, but it won't install it Anyone have experience with the Cams/Crank etc.. ? 500hp NA would be Much nicer then 500hp FI, IMO.

Any suggestions on maxing out my HP with what I can afford?

Default Might be tough

While I'm sure you can get the turbo kit for $6k...by the time you get it tuned and everything my guess is you've spent closer to $8k...and that doesn't even include fuel mgmt. Maybe just keep saving up..I wouldn't start a turbo kit without $10k and a backup car in hand.

Get the Vortech 4350 for the Vortech about 1200 install.
A couple extra bucks for Gauges and what not.

Thats what I would do.

What about a Stillen SuperCharger? Lots of bang for the buck, and I've been told they are a bit more reliable than the TT's. I think thye might fit your $6k budget without making you replace the entire drivetrain. You are probably going to want an intake and exhaust to go with the supercharger though. A Stage 1 Supercharger, Pop Charger, and a nice exahust would be around $6k methinks. You'd get a good boost of power (35-45 HP maybe) and not risk tearing up your engine as much as you would with a TT.
