Mod build up question?
Hey everyone i'm new to the Z world. I just bought an 03 MT Z. As far as mods all i've done so far is a pop charger & magnaflor dual exhaust--suprisingly happy with. I'm looking to with the Crawford Cast Upper Plenum and SKUNK 2 Plenum Spacer for total of $550 from SGP next. I wanted to get everyone's input incase I was wasting money or i'd appreciate any other suggestions for the best performance for a reasonable price nothin outrageous for the moment.
Thanks ahead,
Justin

As mentioned above, both will not do anything except work against you. I didn't know they still made those crawford plenum's? Anyways, if you use that be prepared to change strut bars, and the same thing with that skunk spacer. Personally i would save a few hundred, get the ISO MD spacer and call it a day. Wont have to replace your strut bar, and you'll gain the same if not more hp.

I've also been looking into the Nismo R-tune Cams (http://sgpracing-store.stores.yahoo.net/nircavq.html) w/ some tune
Also this looks to good to be true but what do yall think?(http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nismo...spagenameZWD1V)
I've also been looking into the Nismo R-tune Cams (http://sgpracing-store.stores.yahoo.net/nircavq.html) w/ some tune

cams should be on the bottom of your list to consider for first mods
First round mods:
Exhaust (many styles to choose from, stick to a brand name, to avoid ebay junk)
Intake - the least important thing. Anything from a drop in to a cold air will work, all personal preference...it literally makes 0 difference, don't let anyone tell you differently
plenum spacer - AAM or Hydrazine, both work great, fit great, give immediate gains
test pipes or high flow cats - very little difference between them in performance, significant difference between them in terms of noise. Again, go with what your budget and noise preferences are, and stick to brand names again (no $5.00 ebay junk here either, or you'll regret it, if you get it to work at all)
pulley - optional, but to me, a great mod. Lighter crank at a minimum, full set if you want extra bling. Helps overall engine response, and is an easy install
ecu - once the above are on, get either an ecu flash if you plan to leave the car at it's current state, or a utec if you plan for additional mods in the future.
