I think this key point is what a lot of people miss. I'm willing to bet that 99% of us can't lap a stock Z as fast as a "good" driver anyway, so the extra power is mostly for bragging rights and that "holy-crap-imma-die" feeling on acceleration. Nothing wrong with that, but $15k is a lot to spend on top of what already isn't a cheap car just for bragging rights.

If you're having fun with just a tune and mild mods, leave it alone. Better yet, take some driving lessons at the track and have some real fun.

Rant over.

This is pretty much why I ask that question to anyone posting about modding advice. Someone who wants a fast highway beast is going to get different advice than someone looking to get into Auto-X or road racing.

Lets be honest here, we all want that lol.


And a friend of mine did 4.08's, loves it. IMO, after the bolt ons and tune, its the last, best thing you can do to get more "oomph" out of your NA.
