Faster

So I have some big plans with my "Z" since my accident most of them exterior and interior mods....but I feel bad because the car will be one of the badest looking vehicles on the street but will be lacking in performance. I am planning on putting in a K&N air filter and maybe a high performance computer from motorsport or another vendor but what else can i really do to increase the performance of my non turbo z. (Besides I guess drop my tranny and add a new tranny and rearend and a turbo engine....sorry dont have the money or resources.) But if anyone has any small little tis or tricks then it would be much appreciated. Thanx.

Re: Faster

Well you have a good start with the k&n. A performance computer can only do so much with stock injectors/fuel pump and air flow meter though. Since you've increased your intake, it wouldn't be a bad idea to open your exhaust up some too. Maybe go with a 2.5" exhaust system. You can also put a 240 or stanza throttle body on it at low expense. they are about 10mm larger than the stock Z one, and will bolt up directly if you get the right one. check <a target=x href=http://z31.com/modifications.shtml>here</a> for more info on modifications. Details on the throttle body can also be found either there or on one of the links on that page.
