I don't think it's very beneficial at all.
They're good for tuning the car, but if you're asking this question, I really don't think you should be tuning your own car.
They're good for splicing MAF sensor signals on dual-pop intake cars, but you'll never have a use for that on a non-turbo.
Really, the only thing I could see you using one as is a fancy, overly-expensive gauge. (I will admit, though, that I LOVE being able to set my Apex-i AVC/R to monitor RPM, Injector Duty Cycle, speed, and everything else that units like the S-AVC/R and S-AFC are able to monitor... I just don't think that the usefulness outweighs the cost for a non-turbo Z).
And seeing from your other post that you really want an HKS Hi-Power exhaust, just spend the money on that, because it'll be much more beneficial to you to have a great cat-back like the HKS instead of a tuning tool like an Apex-i S-AFC.

I would see someone actually hurting performance without the proper dial in.
I've been watching them on ebay, and will get a used one for around $150.

adn i got my dsm friends that tune them amazingly i wouldnt do it myself...that or i could have it dyno tuned by a pro. but yeah i didnt intend on doin it by myself cause i wouldnt know how in the first place id be doin HW for a long time...and even then im the type of person who doesnt trust themselves

OH..i thought they offered wide band and narrow band versions.
