Ive got about 4k to spend on parts, help me figure out what to buy! Please..
 
If all goes to plan I should be picking up my new PW Z once I return from Vegas in about 2-3 weeks. I have an extra 4grand that I plan on putting into my Z. I’ve been looking at different parts but I want to make sure I get the most bang for my buck. I plan on getting an oil cooler but other than that what parts do you suggest that I buy that will give the best improvement over its stock counterpart. FYI I do not plan on installing coil-overs or springs. Another thing I was considering was installing a test pipe since there are no emissions where I am stationed. Thanks for all of your help and suggestions!

Fast intentions exhaust + fast intentions long tube headers + stillen cold air intakes are a nice thing to spend money on

The Fast-Intention's complete exhaust install from headers to tips with installation, required tune and a CAI added in comes to a little over $4000. The dynos they have posted to YouTube specific to a 370Z show and overall gain of 21 RWHP and 17 ft-lbs. of Torque.

Cost per HP gained: $191 / 1 HP gained
Cost per TQ gained: $235 / 1 ft-lb. gained

Unless you are adding on a blower or turbo which makes the intake and exhaust mods almost mandatory, the cost per HP/TQ gain FAR SURPASSES any gains to be made with redoing your exhaust. It's absurd and rediculous to spend these figures for such a diminutive return.

Save your money for something else.....

Real Estate is always a good investment.

If you want to remain N/A... Stillen G3 Intake, Fast Intentions Exhaust, HFC, NonStopTuning crank and alternator pulley (with new slightly smaller Gates belt), and a tune. If you can't get dyno tuned, get the Cobb Access Port with competition tune preloaded. Shave some weight off the car while you're at it. I'm pretty sure you can do this for under $4k.

If you plan on force feeding the engine, then save up for a supercharger.

If it's not a sports package, I would add an LSD.

For four grand I would do our RA light weight two piece brake rotors and coilovers and maybe sway bars. (if it is a sports package car)

He totally said he doesn't want coilovers. I would get wheels and tires.
