I just purchased my first Z this week. I have a 2005 "35 year anniversary edition" with Nav and black in color. My goal is to add a few bolt on's but probably not anything major like turbos or superchargers. From the few threads I have read I will probably end up doing a JWT pop-charger, Borla TD exhaust, 5/16th plenum spacer, and some sort of tune. The tuning piece to be honest is a little confusing (UTEC, Technosquare, etc...)but I'm sure I'll learn more as I go. I can't wait to take the car on a weekend drive somewhere that provides some squirly roads! I will post some pictures soon.

 

Welcome, would love to see some pics of your Z soon!

 

Post pics when you get a chance

 

Good luck with the modding. Dont do pulleys! You cant go wrong with the parts you already described.

Tuning-wise I would look into the new Access Port by Cobb. Plug N Play.

If you buy things correctly the first time you will save yourself tons of money in the long run.

 

FWIW, it is my understanding that with your engine, you will only see HP gains if you get both a plenum spacer and a custom lower plenum. Also, other than the sound, I don't think your going to see any performance benefits from a pop-charger.

Careful on the twisties until you get used the car. Enjoy.

 

I actually have the automatic version of the 35th anniversary edition which comes with the standard 287 HP motor versus the 300 HP. Therefore I think if I have read correctly I should just do the spacer and not both. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. At any rate thanks for the welcome comments and pictures to come soon...

 

CongratZ and welcome!!! Like everyone else has said post some pics up!!!

 

Congrats on your Z!
