Anything else for Hp gains?

Gears would be the next step. That's going to make a lot more of a difference than another 5-10whp from a manifold or a pulley.

In all honesty, look at shaving the weight where you can i.e rotors, flywheel, gut the trunk, lighter wheel/tire combo. The less weight you have will usually yield decent results in the power to weight ratio department.

You wont get much out of the manifold, except in the mid-high power curve.

Look into the gearing, especially since you don't have any plans for boost.

What type/ratio of gears should be good for our Z?

Anyone can chime in with Z1's daytona throttle body upgrade?

Cams, port & polish, more aggressive fuel system, lightened flywheel, better clutch than OEM, short shift kit, and stickers

The 370 can be a mid to high 12 sec car with some work, and still be daily driven.

All have been said.

Pulley
Lighter flywheel/clutch
Port everything including your heads, I can help with a few
Lighter wheels/tires
Gears
E85
Weight reduction

I'll be doing e85 soon even though some have already shown a good 10/10 increase.

So I did some research, looks like NST (non stop tuning) makes an UD pulley with an OD alt pulley. This looks like a better deal. Anyone know if they're having a blackfriday sale?

Didn't they go bust after a failed group buy like GTM taking money and running? I don't think you'll ever get one.
