I'm new to the 350Z world, and was wondering what, in your opinion, is the biggest bang for you buck horsepower wise. I've heard the pop-charger is very good, and was wondering if I should go this route, or get the cold air that's offered on the NISMO site. Also, will the pop-charger effect the warranty? I plan on doing some drag racing this year, and was curious how I could gain a little more "managable" (i.e. too much wheel spin) HP.

the police are on the way, but anyway hehe

I went down the N/A road of modding. I'd go with a popcharger, Test pipes, and an exhaust. Unless you have a lot of money to invest, then bypass that and go FI.

Try the top 100 questions thread, and searching the forum for dynos.

As you can see, most forum members are not fond of new people coming in here every week and asking the same question as every other newbie without searching.

lol well atleast everyone was nice about it for once. My input: Strup Headers(good quality but not $$$), AAM spec intake or Pop Charger, Test Pipes, and a Borla, TopSpeed, or whatever floats your boat exhaust. to make use of all of those get an AAM reflash while your at it and then save up for FI. You will lose torque but you may want to get a 3" TD depending on how soon you will go FI and your FI goals so that you don't have to buy an exhaust system 2x.

probably not the best idea but Noah did it for a while and he didn't really lose a whole lot so I figured I'd save the guy a little money. didn't chime in but I like the blue strip on your rims Berto. What kind of paint did they use? My car is still waiting for the CF hood so that it can be painted. After that interior and FI. I figured I'd let them keep the car over the winter since it's starting to get sh*tty outside.
