actually dont get the car, if you need to ask what mods you should do, then you dont know what your doing and you dont know what your getting into...

Wrong!

I highly doubt that people go about doing research on mods before doing the research on a car they want to drive first.

Buddy boy, get the ride, hit the search button and happy modding.

are you fawkin kidding? so you would buy anything for your Z if it was a modification, not knowing where it came from, its quality, and if there are any gains to it? your an idiot stop trying to argue like you always do with me

actually i know quite well what to do i just thought maybe some of you that own a z would give me some insight on whats the best knowing you already have one and tried it out.I can very well purchase a mod doing research on it first just thought it would be smart to ask someone how it worked for them

+1, omg we agree on something after all! the headers will give you some gains but the HR manifolds are pretty efficiently designed especially if you look the old DE versions.

Just have to ask yourself how much do you have to spend and for what gains?!

Most defin go for the Test pipes or crawford HFC's! That will be your largest gain. Back it up with a quality dual exhuast and allow that baby to exhale!!! I would also recommend the Injen CAI's.

Now if you have some extra cash burning a hole in your pocket?.. Go ahead and get the stillen headers and underdrive pulley! Followed up with a Quality Dyno tune.

Then you can Hang. Shave some weight! Start with removing your spare tire, jack and tool kit.

It depends on what you want mods for. For NA power mods, HFC's and an exhaust are hard to beat, but my favorite mod was probably the sway bars, and the light weight wheels would also be near the top of the list. Some people would put appearance mods at the top, but that's not me. Your choice....
