Twin Turbos. Bring it to SGP and they can turn your Z into a 850whp beast if you want.

Do a search under forums under subtitles Engines,F/I and etc. There's plenty of information on this site to help you understand alot about a Z and what is it your trying to pursue. So many options of F/I, NOS or just staying N/A. Good Luck on your quest!

as far as horsepower per dollar, i think a cold air intake or a plenum upgrade...way more per dollar than a turbo or supercharger kit...of course, it's not too big of a gain though...if you want huge gains quickly, a perfectly tuned nitrous system can be more reliable than a turbo, at a fraction of the cost (at least that's what i've been told...can anyone back me up on that, or was i told wrong?)

3.917 Final Drive. Costs a 1/3 of FI (part and labor) and subtracts about .3-.4 seconds off your 1/4 mile.
