Default smartest mod?

hey guys looking for a straight forward answer here from some of the master tuners around the site. iam planning on going tt with my baby someday just to clarify. i currently have a magnaflow exhaust, popcharger and race 1 test pipes on it. so i dont waste money on anything unneeded or i guess not logical what parts would some of you suggest? im building this up from paycheck to paycheck btw and im currently working with $500 right now. i was thinking about a set of UR pullies but am unsure.

get some suspension mods, sway bars is one of the best mods for the money.

Save your $500 and put it into a CD at a nice yield. Take the money out in a year and then use that towards your tt. Don't spend just to spend.

well the real question is, whats the purpose? drag racing? drift? autox? e everyday driving.... if its drag racing.. probably tires... drifting probably a camber kit.. autox would probably be sway bars.. but it looks like your talking about engine mods.. so I would consider some type of plenum spacer.

Put money aside and build it at one time. All your doing, is paying labor multiple times.

good point there i think ill just go with that and take sometime to do it right...btw its just gonna be daily driving just feel the z needs a bit more kick. the parts i have on now i put on with some friends so labor didnt really factor into that much. a turbo setup and such would be way over my head though and i dont wanna f*ck up the car of course

I suggest you figure out your goals and come back with a reasonable budget to achieve them.

Don't nickel and dime your way through the project.

Want cheap power? Go nitrous.

To be quite honest these "I have $XXXX what should I spend it on" threads are getting a bit tiresome.

You should do your own independent research.
