Default 350Z Tech- Adding Performance

Alrighty, it's that time in every car's life..where the performance gets kinda old. This is what Im thinking about droppin into the Z. If anything looks like "damn, your a dumbass", then tell me, for the love of God. I would hate to drop a crap load of money on some overrated bull crap. My car is an '03, 5 spd auto (too much city driving...yeah I know..6 spd owns..geez)...tell me what ya think:

Nismo S-Tune:
Exhaust
Suspension
Sway Bars
Nismo 18" Rims

HKS:
Rotex Supercharger Kit

First look into the Z boards. They will have a lot more options to consider. One thing ou can do is get a corrected intake manifold. Relatively cheap and will help tremandously in the higher rpm range, and when you go to add more mods for engine performance. Then go over to Central Florida Turbos and have them put on a turbo for about the same as the Nismo package and get twice the power output. Throw some nice looking lightweight rims on there with some sticky rubber, tint the windows and ride the fizuck out.

P.S. The super charger isn't to condusive for low rpm performance, they really shine the faster you spin them.....i.e. the higher rpm range. For city drive you will not really be into the higher rpms to much. Besides anything over 400whp is just not nessessary for the street.

-kinetix intake manifold $450
-kinetix high flow cats $350
-any cat-back $800
-dc headers $500
-crank pulley $150
-any cold air intake $250

you can get alot of bolt-ons for under $2500.

-light weight flywheel and heavy duty clutch(tilton 8lb) $2000
-350 evo gears w/ nismo diff $2000

Thats what you call a 12 second N/A 350 z! about the same cost as a shitty supercharger, through a hundred shot on that setup and you will dip into the 11's for about $6000 in total bolt-ons. not including install $

AEBS sleeved with the 4.3 liter stroker kit, twin turbo the bitch with the greddy parts, AEM standalone, 800+cc injectors, built tranny with upgraded torque converter, full exhaust, and the nismo s tune suspension stuffs. lol i know it wont ever happen, but a 600 whp pump gas monster would be fun, wouldnt it?

i don't think rims or sway bars are ADDING PERFORMANCE to your car . Twin turtle that bitch and off you are!

lighter rims and more grip isn't adding performance? stiffer turns doesnt help the ride? I would say it helps performance....and is there a Twin Turbo kit for AN AUTO? Greddy's is a manual only last time I checked
