Default what kind of mods would i need

I wanna starting modding my z(only have RS-R GTII catback exhaust installed...haven't had much free time cause I'm a full time student..had like 20 units last semester ) but I don't have much knowledge about what kind of n/a mods would be ideal for better sound and performance.
Since i'm thinking of getting an APS TT kit later on, which type(&brand) of n/a mods(which will still work with APS TT) should I get so I wouldn't waste any money on them. I don't even have a JWT popcharger yet... And, would I need to replace my RS-R with the APS exhaust system if I get the APS TT? Thanks for reading this and I look forward to hear from you guys~

I would consider an 05 track lower plenum, you'll gain decend power gains up top, and you can use it with the Turbo kit. Also, a pop charger is a cheap way to gain some power for now, until you finalize what you want to do as for a TT kit.

You do not need a new engine block, but imo i would consider getting some new forged internals. with that hp range you would be pushing the limits of any stock engine and it's internals.
pistons, rods and rod bolts is what i would recomend, for starters, however some people are keeping the stock rods and using stronger rod bolts. however i would rather get the rods installed at the same time, if you're spending that much money on the car for that kind of build up, you might as well do it complete.

alittle off topic. but i have a kinetix plenum right now and i was wondering if the 05 track lower plenum would work well with it? and also where can i get one?

Thanks
Jay

you can use both, some people have had success, others have not. it really all depends, i guess it's just a trial and error deal. At least if you do try it out, you know that you can always epay the parts, they are always in demand.

If you don't want to do all the internal work yourself, you may want to consider a solution from SGP Racing:
