What to do when I get my 370z

I know a million people probably replied to this already lol but if you aren't lookin to make insane power, I'd just stick with a full exhaust (headers, HFC's, mufflers, or straight pipes, whatever you prefer) and a decent intake system to start. Those are the most common and easiest to do.

Next thing I'd go for is a programmer (like superchips etc.) if anyone has anything out, or even an upgraded ECU.

I know it may sound wierd on a Z because it's a V6, but one of the quickest and easiest ways to build power is through a cam.

After that maybe some minor forced induction? Maybe a small supercharger or a small twin turbo set up.

If you plan on any hard driving/track time, invest in an oil cooler, it's worth it.

Holy crap this thread is old.

LOL. The OP is still driving the same Saturn as January and hasn't gotten a 370Z yet.......seven months later:

My po saturn sc1 1998 5sp

I'm not doing any mods yet since everything is currently on hold due to my forced induction plans.

Wat?

Why would you do N/A mods (intake, headers) just to throw them out later and go forced induction?

take a weekend driving course and learn how to REALLY use this car...better bang for the buck than any mod
