Default Best bang for the buck bolt-on power adder for NA 2003

I got an 03 350z recently and I want to extract a few more hp's and tq's.
This will be a daily driver, and please, no need to suggest suspension, swaybars, or track days. My question is how to make better acceleration.

After a bit of reading on this forum, I am leaning towards ART pipes first.

Dollar for dollar, what mods (in order) would make for better acceleration?

(and don't say gut the car cause' its free) (also not willing to use Nos/FI)

Looking for short and sweet like:
1. art pipes
2. spacer
3. pop charger
ECT...

Thanks!

art pipes
plenum spacer
drop-in filter
cobb ap (no longer supported but existing maps will yield some gains)

regardless of what you do though you'll get used to the mild gain too quickly and feel like you wasted your money. car will sound nicer tho..
