IMHO the only way to make huge gains is to add forced induction. My suggestion would be to save the money and then get a TT or SC.

Since you're in AZ, I'll tell you to do the same thing I did. Get the Fast Intentions Long Tube Headers + CBE. Sinze AZ has no emissions laws you dont have to worry about a sniffer test. That setup + install will run you ~ $2800ish. Sell the Nismo exhaust, add the total you bring in off of that plus the $200 leftover from your original 3k and get a tune. That's the best you'll be able to do with 3k.

I agree the best way to get decent HP out of the Z is to go FI, but on a 3k budget that's just not possible. You're looking at 10k at least to go FI. Not to maintain FI.

And in the end, you're still going FI in a manner of speaking.

TT's are more fun in this type of car. Actually a really good Single turbo setup would probably be real fun... but there hasn't been anything out there so far that sounds convincing to me.

The whole idea is kind of lacking. Albeit interesting, just not completely rational on a V6, Dual TB, Dual Exhaust car...

I agree here. If it were a single throttle body it would be more feasible.
