I will be getting my bonus in a few weeks and I want to buy sth for my baby. I already have nismo intake + exhaust. Rearding "looks" I have 19" wheels, 20% tint and a tiny nissan spoiler

I was thinking going with a vortech supercharger for a while... but I guess the power would be 2 tempting for a daily driven car. Bearing in mind that I will not track my car a lot, the extra HP will be mainly used on the streets. So I dont know if the extra 80+ HP on my wheels would be a smart move -spcialy since my driving record without FI is already shaky.

My next idea was going with headers. Nismo headers are above $1k. Do you think it is worth spending that money? Can I install them on my own? How long will it take me?

On one hand I want to go with the FI but on the other I want to keep my DL. And in my opinion going with FI just for show is a waste of $$$. Why buying sth that you will not use?

What do you think? Should I get the headers? Or maybe doing a sound system would be a better idea? By the way I am unable to drop my car or install any body kit because of my garage drivaway - the angle is 2 big.

Isay go FI you won't be dissapointed... and maybe you will get into tracking your car after you get fi??? I say everyone with a z should track their car once..... over 1000 dollars for 5 to 12 hp?? ... just my thoughts.... find a good deal on a supercharger...... it's going to be reliable and you'll have a quick *** car....

If you go the header route, you can get much less expensive headers. Best I've seen is for ceramic coated DC headers...about $470. They are a pain in the a$$ to install, but not as difficult as some vehicles.

I had the DC headers on my car....and did not feel a whole lot of change. If I were going to do it again I would go with the Crawford equal length headers. They give a huge torque increase right in the middle of the rev range ...right between 3000 and 4500 rpms'...perfect for street driving.

if i put the crawford v5 plenum, crawford headers, and some test pipes, how much HP could I get? Will I feel a big difference?

With their headers, plenum and cats, they say 20 hp and 40 peak.

Between those two, Crawfords DEFINITELY. don't expect too much for your $1400 + install.
