Cheap and 350z don't go together, is expensive to mod, even N/A...but what you said with an osiris tune should be all set

Spark Plugs(any good brands in particular?)
Cams(any good brands in particular?)
Headers(Should I)
ECU Reflash at the end.
Not worth it unless you want to spend some big bucks for a full fledged race car.

Tanabe Y pipe is junk, it cracks test pipes and rattles on the crossmember. If you want to make power , get Motordyne , same goes for exhaust.

JWT popcharger is just fine, and costs less.

Spacer is good, motordyne is my suggestion

Spark plugs, OEM is fine

CAMS JWT is my suggestion

Headers, yes, but a PITA

Tune, will be needed for best results

LOL @ the vid posting...

When speaking about NA gains on these cars, aside from a full olt-on + cams + tune, your not guaranteed IMO a faster car than anbody else.

OP you with all the boltons + tune would likely get beat down the 1320 by a good driver in a stock Z.

I know it sounds cliche but improve the driver then the car. When you can run 13.8 or better stock, then start modding. Otherwise you will be another mod'd Z owner who runs 14's and traps like stock.

Please tell me what you're going to do that's legal or sane that requires more power than a stock 350Z.

Why do half of you waste your time replying to the thread saying stupid ****. Just don't reply.
Ok so I think i'm going to get:

Tanabe Medallion Touring Exhaust. What y-pipes and test pipes should I get for it?

Stillen Intake + Air Duct. I read on here that the JWT Pop stalls at high speeds and something about it sucking in hot air, so i'll just get stillen if that is true.

Plenum Spacers(motordyne 5/16”)

You can get lots of info on the exhaust and intake section of the forum.
