Not trying to be mean, but honestly you need to familiarize yourself with this forum first and foremost. Your questions have been asked and answered an infinite number of times since this forum started back in 02, sure the answers have changed but not by much. The search feature is your friend.

Even if you search this sub-forum in itself, which is fairly new, you will find answers to your questions.

+1

To add to that, you didn't really state your goals. If your goal is to have a N/A Z for a daily driver, congrats! It came that way! The items you mentioned are all good places to start. Gains will come from any of them, but will follow the laws of diminishing returns. The best way to get power out of each modification is to have the ECU tuned for it.

Good luck!

or... you could do a cost-benefit analysis of your proposed improvements
and isolate the one and only power-generating solution for the 350z...

Some people don't want anything but a loud, blond headed, fake breasted, tri-delt. The more sophisticated man appreciates the complex nature of the brunette.

Not saying that turbo cars are a bad thing, I heart them. There's just no need to come into the NA forum and throw around bad mojo

Wow! There might really be something to this... I'm into brunettes too! And I too love the quest for NA power...

so far we have 100% NA = brunette (and the beloved red-head, she defaults to the NA=brunette ratio)...

I wonder what percentage of FI is into blondes?... I suspect the majority.

There has got to be a psychological profile to all this... hmmmm...

Haha! Yeah, I personally think red heads have the most fun... But there's also a greater propensity for psychosis with them too. I'm a bottle red head, so maybe I'll manage to stay somewhat sane. Lol~ :-)
