My Mods Update...And A Few Q's
 

note: this will probly only b interesting to the gentlemen who is in the beginning/intermediate stages of moddin his z. if u r past boltons, just click back.

i initially installed an aem intake on my car. didn't really notice anything except for sound, and perhaps a little less throttle response. everyone is hypin the popcharger now, so i got one. not a big ding in the wallet. to my surprise, it came in the mail today. i won't b able to put it on for awhile, but i will say the filter is the best i've ever seen. mightily impressed thus far.

moving along, i bought a set of borla headers awhile back. got em for 535 shipped; thought it was a good deal. i know they're not gonna give very good peak gains, but i've been told midrange should b quite decent for the price. i'm a poor man, so the dc headers caught my eye. i have a set of kinetix cats that should b arriving anyday, so when they come i was gonna have them installed along with my headers. the question is should i wait to see how the dc headers perform before i put the borlas in? if the dc's look good, i wouldn't mind switchin. u think the dc's will outperform the borlas?

oh yeah, lastly, can't wait to order my kr plenum!

Im pretty much at the stage you are at. I just got my UR crank pulley in a few minutes ago actually. I am also getting my R/T cats in monday. So by tuesday next week I should be a happy person. I have the popcharger right now and am very happy with it. I think I am going to go with Nismo exhaust and possibly headers next.
I was wondering the same thing about going with $500 headers opposed to the ones for over 1k.

cool; sounds awesome, man. i probly will do the minor boltons, then throw some juice at it. it's what i did with my old car (civic si). i was happy with it; definitely fun. i just wanna have something to mess around with a couple times a month on the street and a few times at the track a year.

as for the headers, everybody will wanna see peak gains. it's what sells, too. sometimes buyin for peak is not very cost effective though. u may b able to get a solid gain across more of your rpm range with a less expensive product. the borlas r and probly the dc's will b decent for the price. i am curious to see if the dc's will outperform the borlas; however.

Yeah you and I are basically looking for the same thing then. I went to the track last night for the 1st time and I had a blast. My 1st couple runs we wont talk about hehe. But my last one wasnt bad for 1st time there. Ran a 14.2@100.
I am just looking to make my car a little faster to play around with on the track and on the street. I think headers, exhaust, and the plenum after I do the pulley and cats this week. This stuff is getting expensive and addicting, but fun. :D

diy'd it, yo.

Same here.

Dave, your sig says your time is stock from the other day, yet you have lots of mods listed... ???

It was run stock, well except for the popcharger wicch doesnt really do anything performancewise. I just got my UR pulley in yesterday and my R/T cats are coming in monday. All the other mods are more cosmetic, not performance.
