Stop right there! You say you don't want to add boost....right now. If you plan on ever going FI in the future and your ultimate goal is to get anywhere near the power you had in the G then save your pennies until you have enough to add boost. It will be cheaper in the long run.

But if you can't wait then I would recommend either the Stillen G3 or Takeda Stage II CAI. Fast Intentions exhaust has the best build I have seen on parts and adds power. They also make HFC and test pipes for you to stick with one company. I chose to go with Berk HFC paired with my FI exhaust. Of course there are other choices from other manufacturers. Take a look around and search on the forum in order to make the best decision for you.

I REALLY appreciate your advice and the only reason I'm leaning toward staying away from sc or turbo is my previous Vortech V2 was pushing 8k brand new and I would prefer to not drop that again. At this point in my life I'm not overly concerned with my quarter mile speed, but would still like to pump my Z up a bit unless you all have some less expensive options on a turbo or sc that I'm not privy to. Thanks again for your help

BTW Speed I've priced out the Nismo CAI and Stillen G3 and they are comparable in price... Do you feel that the G3 is superior to the Nismo?

The Nismo R-Tune CAI is likely a very comparable intake to the others. However they have not been as closely documented as the Stillen G3 nor the Takeda Stage II CAI in overall gains. Also you will have to relocate or get a smaller washer fluid reservoir as it is similar in design as AEM and Injen.

For my money between the two I would pick the Stillen G3. Although my money actually went to the Takeda Stage II.

I was pleasantly suprised by how much "sportiness" my Z gained after I merely upgraded my clutch/flywheel and my brake rotors. My next upgrade will be a Stillen CAI and FI exhaust as well (with a Uprev tune). Also I am contemplating upgrading my radiator and putting on some coilovers for a slight drop. In a few days I will get my new wheels and tires on...It feels like Christmas!

The Z seems to take to small upgrades very well.
