The installation of headers is a nightmare from what I read. The benifits of the headers is negligible in my opinion from the results I read.

If you plan on going with a supercharger, Stillen even says not jump on that bandwagon yet as they have found up to a loss if 1 psi boost with headers. Some say that more air may be flowing regardless of the drop of boost but the Z already has headers on it and I can't imaging aftermarket headers being drastically better.

I am not going to go there, same with the pulleys. These mods offer negligble gains that I dont think are worth the install pain or money. The real power is forced induction, free flowing exhaust, and tuning.
