I don't disagree with your Exhaust + lth + cai + tuneup...IF IT WERE A MUSTANG because the prices for the comparable kinds of parts for a Mustang are NOT through the roof as they are for the Z.
The Z being considered an import allows the manufacturers to really stick it to the consumer and charge outragious prices for any parts. These outragious prices just completely kill the ROI when doing this kind of mod to the Z since the power gains made are so dimimutive compared to the dollars spent to achieve that mere pittance of a gain. That's why this mod you suggest requires coupling it with a forced induction mod as well in order to achieve a sensible ROI.
Having been modding Mustangs most of my life I can tell you that most comparable mods made to a MUSTANG can be achieved at 1/2 the overall cost of those made to Z's. That's why the ROI when doing Mustang modification is so good!
