Even after changing the intake, HFC/test pipes, CBE, headers won't increase the horsepower to a significant amount. I say save the money for a set of wheels + spacers, CBE, and maybe some exterior mods like a lip kit. It will make your Z look so much better but with similar performance.

With intake/HFC-TP/CBE and tune, he's probably looking in the realm of 30hp to gain possibly. That's a 10% improvement. Granted, not worth the cost of what it takes to get it on this car, but its still a significant amount.

Going from ~280 to ~320 whp is a significant amount. You'll absolutely feel it. That's a 15% power increase.

By significant I was thinking FI. To be clear what I tried to say is he was to spend all that money on those bolt on mods, might as well either go with FI or just cosmetic mods. Just my
