Better Gear ratios for transmission(biggest improvement needed here), longer final drive for FI Z's....
Plenum that changes length with ur RPM to maximize NA power..
Working turbonator..
Electronic dump exhaust (pimp as ***)
Port and polish services that actually help..
More aggressive cams.. Tomei's aren't that aggressive and have nice gains. 284s would be awsome on NA.

Short shifters that aren't notchy..

I would buy a set of nice long tube headers (eliminate cats and bolt up to y-pipe) if they were made out of 304 and thermal coated.

I wanna see a side exit exhaust! Take out the y-pipe, mount some resonators right after the cats and then into an x-pipe with some mufflers and then out each side with oval tips for ground clearance. Light weight, functional and different then what is on the market!

Cheaper piggy back ECU units....WRX/EVOs get them for significantly less than I can find any for a Z and with better results (In terms of the quality of the tune, not the gains from the tune itself).

Single Turbo Kit/FMIC kit is definitely an option.


Also the header idea is something we are working on.

Shorter Final Drive

Offer something beyond 3.9 if it can be done. The 350Z uses a R200V, and R200 Final Drive model, and there are many R200 final drives from 3.9s to 4.1s to 4.4's. Just check the R200V thread.

everybody and thier brother make a turbo kit and exhaust for the Z!
More final drive options would be nice. a 3:73 would do. Also an ignition
amplifier and a solid Valve body kit that produced results!
OH YEAH, Hood struts that dont require cutting of the battery covers!
Can be done, Top Secret makes them.....at $300.00 a pair though.

Long tube headers, kinda like a replica of the crawfords would be a money maker.

A set of properly engineered hiflo cats. By properly I mean a set that has proper clearance above the cats between them and the car. Also a set that would be properly aligned to the rest of the exhaust as not to cause stress and cracks and lastly a set that will properly utilize the OEM cat support brackets without cracking the cats or any other part of the exhaust.

So good performance, proper fit, and proper support for the cats and the rest of the exhaust system.

Any plan on long tubes? There are ALOT of shorty headers out there. As far as I know only Xerd and Supersprint make long tubes for our cars. Why not enter into a less populated market?

Enough with the exhaust, there are too many out there already. Need more intake, both CAI and Short ram with heat shield/box.

affordable turbo kits? Is my assumption that it would be cheaper than TN by a lot or just by a 2-300 hundred correct?

How about turbo exhaust manifolds, with lets say a t3, t4, or any other turbo flange for those who want piece together thier own turbo setup? IDK, just an idea...

I do like the idea of a cheaper b-pipe back exhaust. I wouldn't buy it but it could prolly sell good. Other than that from what I know the turbo kit should be around $4000. But as to what brands, HP range and other components that are included I am not entirely sure.
