Whats your budget?
Apparently have an over abundance of money to spend.
Is this a wish/dream list or,are ACTUALLY gonna do it?
If so,and HP is your objective,all this stuff makes no sense.
Just add a SC.Or,a single turbo.

I don't actually, this is more of a once I free up some income list. Why doesnt it make sense? How else would I increase power Without FI?.. I know I can slap on turbo or sc an call it a day, but thats not my goal. I want to build the z NA

This, run your car stock and go from there. These cars do really good with just a good set of tires and learning to drive them.

Most of the mods listed really aren't needed IMO.

Cold-air - stillen G3's although they're pricey if brand new
Intake manifold - motordyne manifold adds midrange but hurts topend
longtube headers - makes a bit more power than regular test pipes, good if you're chasing after every last HP
exhaust (obviously) - i don't even have a full exhaust
pulleys - crank pulley is cheap, wouldn't bother with the rest
4.5 stroker - $$$$$$$$$$$$
bored (if i can) - lol wut
ported/polish heads (if necessary) - overkill IMO
cams - you'll never find an aftermarket INTAKE cam
tune - UPREV all the way
gears - 4.08's all the way and i hope you have good tires
twin plate clutch - overkill, but you'll need an aftermarket CSC for any aftermarket clutch
flywheel - stay away from fidanza, go with JWT
driveshaft - ummm, no. stock is already carbon fiber

Looks like you made suggestions for the majority of the list. Bored as in bore the heads?.. Yes i found out the driveshaft is carbon after I posted this and as far as the clutch I wasnt sure about the clutch but ive been assured its not necessary to upgrade.
