First performance mod you would do?

Tune. It will fix that godawful throttle response on a stock Z. Once you have a few bolt-ons, you'll want the tune anyway to take full advantage of their performance

The only thing about getting tune first is you may end up paying for extra tuning/dyno time if you choose to get re-tuned as you install bolt-ons.

Not a performance mod, but the first thing I did was get a remote engine start installed for this crazy hot Texas weather.

You have to be careful putting a remote start on a manual car and don't park it in gear or else when you start it while in gear, you can have an expensive mishap. There are systems that monitor the e-brake but not the shifter.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I quoted your post about remote starters and how it should be one of the first mods for thread reference. It was not a direct response to you but to your post for the benefit of the OP who wanted information.
