If you want performance, get rid of the 20's...

step 1
get rid of 20s

step 2
buy intake header exhaust intake plenum, fuel, tune

step 3
if you are unsatisfied with this power increase of full bolt ons, buy a turbo kit

Just because these aren't muscle cars, doesn't mean they are suddenly planes or trains. Same general concept behind performance...

hey! congrats and welcome! I have an 04 as well. Do not worry about the 20s , 20s always look great on the Z, but they definetely slow the car down. If you want more performance, go for some headers, cams, a plenum(motordyne makes the best) I have a 5/16 spacer and I enjoy it. I think the most important thing would have to be a good tune. I have the osiris standard ,custom tuned on a dyno,and IMO its been mod period for N/A( if you want to call it a mod). Besides that, A good clutch and flywheel kit will give you that extra grip that you need. Good Luck and enjoy your Z

O and if you are going to go for headers, go for longtubes, or get headers and test pipes. Test pipes will change your life, no joke
