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!

+1 on z-tube, pop charger, spacer, and sways! After that, learn to drive the thing lol!

But this car isn't easy to mod on a budget. Ebay parts for this car won't hold up for too long...

Try it on a dyno. You'll see a difference. I would do it again since I have access to a dyno, but I'm not going to take my car apart, reset my ecu and all to get you a dyno number on this.

yeah. i agree!
