which mods to do if going with turbos later?
I plan on either going with a custom turbo setup from a local shop later on (this year if all goes well). What mods can I do now that would not have to be altered when I get boost?
I would think exhaust and intake would have to wait but maybe not?
Lightweight pulleys/flywheel
Brakes
Wheels/tires
Suspension.
Anything else that I can do to the engine/drivetrain ?

Typically as long as you get a free flowing exhaust you can use it with Turbo. Unless you plan to boost above 9psi the larger 3" exhausts aren't necessary. Also cam gears can be used with turbo. But I don't think any companies make them for the 350 yet.

I wouldn't get either intake or exhaust. Unless you want to try and sell them used on here. The GReddy TT set up comes with (or at least the prototype has) a real dual exhaust set up. Lightweight rims are the most underrated performance mod. Buying 15lb rims instead of 25lb rims saves you not only 40lbs in standing weight but rotating weight is 7 times (if I recal correctly) that of standing weight. That's a 280lb saving, that could help your E.T. just a little... maybe... Don't go for the flywheel yet either see how much you feel like you need that after the turbo. Go for suspension, tires, and aero parts to get as much road sticking power as possible. Think of the launching torque of a stock Z vs. the grip of the stock tires, then double it or there abouts for a turbo'd Z... yeah.
I still can believe no one here is boosting yet.
