So Im hopeful that Nissan left room for the tuners to exploit. Havent seen what the G37 guys are getting boltonwise though. Im gonna take a look at there forum later...
I'm talking 3.5, no one can answer for the 3.7 in the 370Z. But still the gain of just bolt on, just aren't worth it in my eyes! That includes financially also.

Basic bolt ons such as an intake, headers (not aware of any for the VQ 3.5 HR) and exhaust would be worth it. Combined together they increase performance and can increase fuel economy as well. I'd consider those three mods as they become available for the 370Z. I'm not sure I'd go further than that though, I doubt I'd get really hardcore and start messing with suspension, brakes, advancing timing, etc... etc...

Depends on how you look at it. The Z's motor basically comes maxed out from the factory and doesnt respond well to N/A mods you put onto it. If you're looking for power adders N/A isnt the way to go.

Financially and HP wise, none of these basic mods may be worthwhile, but does allow for increased enjoyment and individuality for many. Out of the box though, the 370Z should be sufficient, but many simply want more.
