if you're budget conscious: upgrade your brake lines, pads and fluid (SS braided lines, ATE Superblue fluid, and pads depend on your application / noise tolerance)

if money is no object: lightweight flywheel and clutch

I assume you mean horsepower upgrade? I would go with test pipes next, or high flow cats perhaps if you are worried about emissions or being too loud? That is the bottleneck you are looking at for air flow (in or out) sinced you already upgraded the rest. Headers and Exhaust can help too, but I would address the most restrictive part left on your system first... those 4 stock cats.

Here is another suggestion if you wanna do brakes: Stop-tech also makes a nice and cheap brake upgrade for non-bembro's which will eliminate your fade and really upgrade your braking feel and overall performance... Stage 2, it comes with SS lines, Motul fluid, cross-drilled rotors (stock size, can also opt for slotted) and some Hawk APS pads. All for around $650 I think, check here:

Good luck

i didn't even know stop-tech had the upgrade. thanks for the info. i was thinking about test pipes, but i wonder about raspiness that i keep hearing about with them. would there be a noticable difference with them?

It is a matter of opinion, you really gotta hear it to judge that for yourself... rasp to me is a Honda Civic with a coffee can sticking out the back. 350z with headers/tp's/exhaust is more of an exotic sounding (yes typically pretty loud) and it only seems to happen around 4k RPM's. Really kinda reminds me of a ferrarri or something. I like it personally, but many do and many don't so try to hear some in person. I wouldn't rely on sound clips either.
