OP, Im not much of a gear head, I wish I was though... but i was on the same boat your on. I wanted more power after 2 years of researching and help from people who acually have had things done to their car is.... If you go N/A it will be alot of cash the car would sound wicked as hell I remember hearing a rev up of a full N/A Z with bolt on that a girl owns and it sounded sick as hell. but the fact is youll be spending alot of money but the car will be more reliable then F/I.... now to what I have found about the F/I part is that its about the same price but you get more bang for your buck but you have taken your reliablity down alot... from what I have seen is the more relaible thing to do is go supercharger, I myself will go with cams and a fresh head for the fact that I have alot of miles on my car.

I ended on not doing anything and upgrading parts as they needed to be changed and bought the body modifications.

It definitely is. There's a video of it on youtube on Z1's dyno. My 03 on the same dyno is only making 267rwhp. He does have headers though. I'll see if I can find the link for it.

Found it.

It was 282whp, my bad. That car has over 250k miles on it, too.

And does he want to keep his mods secret? I just see that it has Motordyne exhaust...I'm thinking that means headers (possibly) and ART pipes + MD catback. I'd like 280. That makes all the HRs putting down 290-300 with long tubes look pretty sad...

+1 ^ this if you aren't too picky about losing a couple MPG, best bang for the buck NA mod in my opinion, but as sparco stated you gotta consider whether you want to go FI in the future...plus if you can find a complete pumpkin with the gears already installed swapping out the diff isn't hard at all, i have done it a few times at home with nothing but basic tools, a jack stand and one buddy. it won't actually change your whp, but you will DEFINITELY feel a difference.
