A good read: https://www.zdriver.com/forums/280zx-s130-forums-77/help-me-make-plan-get-beyond-200-a-32526/
So... what's your budget? "ungodly amounts of money" doesn't really define one...
The 280zx already has a "cold air intake". If you want the Honda chrome pipe w/ a cone filter, they sell them at AutoZone, and MSA.
In a nut shell, do the same things that any motor needs for basic upgrades...
Intake
Exhaust
Ignition
Cam
Aftermarket / stand alone ecu
Hopefully it goes w/o saying... Also, a good tune up will wake up an old / high mileage motor.

Then completely forgot after I deleted it.
We all need to contribute to a sticky, that is required to be read before making any other posts, also there for info, for air, fuel, turbo, exhaust, etc. etc. power gains.
