Anyway, I don't race this car that much. So I'm not going to go ***** out like I normally would. I just like to have a little bit more bite behind the bark.

There are little things you can do here and there to help out, but nothing is really going to throw your head back.

i would throw on a 5/16th spacer and go with a fujita intake - it gives you the best of both worlds IMO. Not a short ram and not a CAI kind of settles right between.
The most important thing you need to do after that is get a tune. Buy a u-tech or a little AFC unit. You will need to get your AFR back to normal. This is where a lot of people loose so much power. After that throw on a set of cams. That will help your up top like crazy!

forth gear ends at 110mph, fifth gear at 140mph... m3 has more power, z is lighter. i have a nismo intake cai and i FELT and SAW a difference. i ran my boy b4 in a 6spd z and he took me by about 4 cars. i put the intake on and ran next to him. the intake gave me about 4 cars. i have true cold air tho.
