You've got some extra cash...what do you buy for your 350?

[Exar-Kun]

So lets say you've got some extra cash laying around (about 1200 dollars)

..what do you buy, supposing your Z already had the listing at my signature?

...STEREO!!

[Exar-Kun]

LOl...ok, for clarification....what do you buy to make it perform even better?

(I'm not an audiophile)

[240 GTR]

headers and/or test pipes

[icice9]

do the plenum mod... with a 1/2" plenum spacer... get up to 20ft. lbs of torque and a notacleable growl when you gun it..

[Exar-Kun]

I have test pipes...

Thanks for everyones input..any other ideas?

-Chet

[rhruska]

20ft lbs of torque with just a plenum spacer? where did you get this number and is this possible?

heres a thread where he post his dyno chart.. look at the torque gain...http://www.my350z.com/forum/sh...+dyno

[Exar-Kun]

From what I've seen the plenum spacers mainly increase midrange. This is fine, but the VQ in this iteration lacks top end. I'm more worried about increasing that aspect of the motor.

Since I have testpipes, headers seem like a solid option, as does pulleys.

I didn't sgn up for the forums, what was the peak gain (highest to highest?) in that dyno? If it's a good peak (6200rpm) gain, I'd be for it...ifit;'s just mid range, I may buy it anyway (power is power), but I really like the ability tokeep pulling in the higher revvs.

Well, I did the reverse of trend setting, and (like every other butthead who asks for advice and doesn't take it) bought a set of Tein Flex Coilovers on the reccomendation of two friends and one shop owner.

THanks for the responses though guys.

Good choice!

I was going to say that or save up for the supercharger.

[Exar-Kun]

A S/C would be uber fun, but I didn't get THAT much money, otherwise you'd hear about it via an install article of either a jun stroker kit or forced induction.

The car is leaning toward the way my 240 went, highly tuned NA, for response and cornering.
