Default performance upgrades?

I have an '04 350z track... so far i have a kinetix manifold, cold air intake, catback exhaust... what other bolt ons can i add? still new to this... any suggestions would be great. Also, has anyone looked into the electric supercharger? i saw one on ebay, looks like its just an add on to the cold air intake, a F/I... has a switch when the gas is pushed to a certain point, forces more air... any opinions?

Electric supercharger is the cheapest route for horsepower gain. I also heard that if you combine the eclectric supercharger and to a flux capacitor you will smoke about all the
V8 on the road and still get 25MPG+. Hope that help.

I tried one of those but the extension cord kept getting pulled out the wall when I took off too fast (from all that extra power it produced).

If you get an electric supercharger, make sure to buy a 4 inch + diameter exhaust system to cope with the enormous amount of air flow it produces.

The electric supercharger works best in combination with the interfooler.
