Looking for advice on my next upgrade....

slammedsammy · 12-09-2015, 02:11 PM

Whats up fellas!

I am looking to do some more work to my 09 Z (base). I am looking for power!

Already installed:
- Fast Intentions CBE w/ HFC (these hiss pretty loud, might need to replace them, may go with RTP).
- Stillen Gen 3 Intake
- ST Shifter
- Uprev tune is in the works (long story but basically bought the car used, found an Uprev tune cable in the car but have no idea (yet) what is going on with that)..can't find a reputable shop to do the tune but it will be done soon nonetheless.

While I'm waiting for the tune, I figured I may as well get something else done. Any suggestions? I am a spirited driver, love to cruise around the streets but probably won't track it any time soon. Will be adding some BC BR coils in the spring along with lighter wheels.

Thanks in advance guys!

You probably won't get too much more out of power NA. Personally I have always seen a large increase in the enjoyment factor with suspension mods. Have you thought about bushings or mounts? Those will help with the response while your doing your driving.

Control Arms and rear links if you plan to drop the car with those coils. My front end tightened up a bunch with the poly bushings in the arms.

What about the Z1 ported power plenum and ported Z1 lower intake manifold? After getting back the core charge deposit you will have spent maybe $625.

Interesting...I'll have to do some reading on this and the other suggestions. Thanks fellas!

motordyne m370 or z1 ported intake, 4.08 gears & whiteline bushings, zex nitrous kit, upgrade injectors to run e85 if available in your region.

Just be patience. If your eventually going to go boost, i would just stop modding and save up. If you're going to stay NA companies are making parts to make decent power, most will criticize you staying NA and trying to make power. All depends what you're buiding for and how much money you're willing to spend.

Install a oil cooler to keep the oil nice and cool during those spirited driving sessions and if you don't plan on boosting it then throw some gears in it.

Is your Hfc from fast intention?

Looks like they are. Just letting you know RTPs are gonna make the hiss worse.
