get pulse plugs(direct replacement of spark plugs)
also get the splenum spacer and jwt pop charger
best bang for your buck!
my friend has pulse plugs in his G
and he noticed a pretty good mid range power gain
they dynoed a 350Z bone stock and got 11whp gain
i was like WOOOOOH how is that possible!?!?!?
lol
then i found out that it burns the fuel more fully than our STOCK plugs
ONLY 25 BUCKS A PLUG!

the only thing in that range would be a plenum spacer, but honestly that doesn't give much. For power, NA mods on the G35 give you nothing. The only mod I would recommend for that price range would be front and rear sway bars. Those do give you a considerable gain in performance.

skip the pulse plugs, in the not too long run they can cause some problems

you don't need different plugs unless you go FI or if you have a crazy tune and are building your motor NA. There are NO cheap performance upgrades for the G35 or Z. The Z's have always been expensive to modify.
