Long tube Headers will net more (another 15+).


IDK about +15 for LTH's. LTH's only make a few peak HP more then Test Pipes. Mid range is where you see some gains but still not that much.

Leaving your car on the Dyno is normally expensive since you tie up the dyno for the whole shop so $600 for the Tune and dyno time I think is a very fair price. I made 339whp which 99.9% of people on here say is wrong so lets say I made around 320whp which is what most people make with these mods. A stock 370 makes about 280whp. So thats an increase of lets say 35-50hp. Thats really good for a NA car at least I think. Your friend must own a turbo car.
Nah, $1500 = another 100whp with GM, N/A. No NEED for FI.

I guess the point is, the 370Z is not a drag racing monster. If you wanted brute acceleration, a base corvette with a cam and LT's would have been a much smarter buy. Even the new 5.0 mustang with a tire is pretty mean.

I know this is in a different direction, but I would also recommend an oil cooler kit since it seems like you plan on getting pretty spirited at times.

1. If you want to leave it stock, this car is still fun to drive.

2. IMO, a cat-back exhaust is must have on this car. Any quality exhaust will make it sound a world appart from the stock exhaust. Be prepared to spend anywhere from $800-$1,300 for a nice setup. There are plenty of options depending on your taste, from louder to insanely loud. With a CBE alone, you won't really need a tune. As far as intakes go, you need to go with long tubes like the Stillen Gen 3's to see any results that are worth the trouble. The stock airbox is pretty effecient, which is why people like myself, have decided to just install drop in filters like the K&N.

If you install HFC/test pipes & headers, you should def get it tuned afterwards. Just remember that these parts are technically for "off-road use only."

3. Twin-Turbo's make will turn this car into a monster, but be prepared to shell out over $10k, loosing your warranty on the drivetrain and the extra effort in maintaining a car with forced induction.

Fang Vents ($50) and HFC/testpipe+Y-pipe ($450) - probably the best power to gain ratio. I'm sticking with OEM filters; the K&N's might flow a little better but also let so much dirt in the engine. Filtration and Flow have inverse relationships. Invest in an Oil Cooler.
