Default Getting started on basic bolt-ons etc.

sup guys

i constantly look up after market parts for the z and ive put a JWT intake and exhaust on the car so far

ive got some extra money i want to spend but id rather put it in the engine rather than exterior for now and i want to know the steps before i blow some money

so can some of you give me some pointers on where to go first in my engine as far as upgrades

i understand that that CRAZY hp isnt an option unless u go F/I or put aton of cash into N/A builds

but what should i do first and so on pulleys...plenum etc.

or is going into pistons/rods and all of that going to be worth it/too expensive

any positive feedback will help a lot !

Plenum spacer and if you have the Rev Up motor get the MREV2.

Prepare for the flames though.

LSD , sways and wider wheels and tires are some of the more noticable mods.

I've read that headers won't really show any gains and you could potentially lose more then you gain. Unless you going F/I no need for them.
