I've done both, the NA mods on other vehicles and FI on the Z. Adding an exhaust and picking up 15 whp is a pretty cool feeling. Adding a pair of turbos and picking up 150 whp makes you giggle every time you hit the gas, and scares you a little bit.

It takes a lot longer to feel like you need more power when you add 150 whp than when you add 10. It does happen eventually, but that's true for anything. Unless you drive to work in a F1 car, everything you drive every day will eventually feel slow. The only way around that is to buy an actual slow car for a daily driver.
I agree!

Keeping my Z stock, and modding my subie for stg 2. Want to see if I can save $10K for FI

Sooooo, like you said to remedy this, I drive a 2005 Civic as my beater so when I get into my Z or Subie I get smiles all the time
