New to site and have been running my stock 06' Z for 2 years now. I got $2500 to spend... any suggestions to steer my purchases to get the most for my money? This is a daily driver... Thanks

 

Plenum spacer, intake, exhaust. I did the spacer and popcharger and actually saw an increase in gas mileage. Not much, but still an improvement.

 

Bassani Exhaust, Rota Torques with tires.

 

forget about NA mods..........huge let down.

Either save for FI or go with nitrous.

NA is only good for sound.......and maybe a small boost in power.

Take that 2500 get a nice NX kit a utec and supporting mods and have 350 whp on a 100 shot.

 

I do agree with the NA part. Ive been there and it is a let down. I only have my bassani because it sounds sooo good.

I personally wouldnt want NX because its not constant and you have to keep refilling it. I would rather just save the rest and go FI.

 

Since its a daily driver, go with some nice rims and suspension. if you are into racing, get nitrous. if you are into looks, by some hair gel

 

Trust me, FI>n20>bolt ons in terms of power/$/time

N20 is ok if you like a huge tq increase......but bottle filling isnt cheap or easy.
NA is a big let down, spend 2500 to get 20whp.
Fi isnt cheap in the begging or at any time for that matter.

 

Wuz originally thinkin' MREV 2, K & N drop in, Stillen true dual, Stillen HF cats, and reflash. Just slightly over budget

 

anybody know of any good shops in Oregon?

 

What sort of N2o setup?

 

What are your goals? Do you plan on doing any track days?

 

Would like to get out to PIR (Portland Int. Raceway) they open it out for a fee on the weekend.

 

Get the plenum spacer, 3.91 or 4.083 Gears, test pipes, and a JWT Pop-Charger.

 

Call or go see PRE in Portland. They did the tuning on my car and have wrenched on tons of my friend's Subarus.

It all depepnds on how much speed u want. If you just want a nice little gain with a nice tone then go for intake plenum/spacer - intake - exhaust - UTEC... That alone should get ya 20-30 HP gain

 

Look on the classifieds there is a turbonetics kit up for sale for 2000. That will leave you with extra cash for a utec.

Too late it sold yesterday.

 

I say either Nitrous/UTEC or Rota wheels and coilovers. maybe a front lip?

 

keep saving

 

for what... this car is his daily driver FI would not be wise

 

+1 on the Juice and utec
