Hotchkis sways and springs for handling/performance
Plenum spacer complete what your CAI is essentially trying to do
You may have some money left for some wheel locks....

you can do the HFC and test pipes later... good luck with whatever you decide

UR Lightweight Pulleys provide a noticiable increase in acceleration. It is one of the best NA mods you can get, bang for the buck wise.

Kinetix HFCs or test pipes and the Kinetix v4 plenum. Both will be $650 shipped to your door! Or maybe something else here:

If you wanted to do that, go with a new Tall Plenum. But, you will have to change the strut bar and probably the hood to do it. Going to be more than 600 yankee dollars. You can get 5-6 out of the UR pulley set.

don't put anything cheap on your z, and a pulley will void your warranty.

ok, agree with the cheap part, but the U/R pulley will not kill your warranty -- the dealer must prove that your part caused the damage in order to not cover the repairs under warranty.

i had the dealer put the pullies on 8 months ago, and i've been in half a dozen times for warranty fixes with no problems
