Were you in a slammed GTi getting on the 360 yesterday????
Anyway, Texas, Dallas. First thing you want to do is get a high viscosity synthetic oil change. (I won't name my preference and start a debate). Second, I would get an oil cooler. Size is subjective to quality. If you get a 19 with a very large core, you'll do fine.
But 25 and 34 are your safest bet. 25 staying mostly stock. And 34 if the mod bug is going to hit you.
Personally, with the kind of weather we get in Tx, I think K&N filters with silicone hoses make the Z more responsive than, heat conducting aluminum CAI's.
If staying NA I would save money with Zen like patience... Then do your intake, cams headers, HFC/TP, exhaust all in one shot for the best gains.
If going turbo... Well, You will need even more patience.
The Z will need minor suspension mods to make it more neutral in corners, Brake hoses and better brake pads to resist fade when going crazy in the car. Rotors will also aid in this. I prefer adding brake lines to complete everything but that is also a topic of controversy.
The z will be faster than any other NA v6 in its price range and will also rival the BMW turbo6 stock and the challenger RT and camaro when stock. These v8's modded create more power and we can't take them down without FI.
The Z handles well but if you're looking for extreme precision, you might want to test drive a used Cayman or new FR-S. The Z is still a very precise handler and gives good stock muscle to boot.
