      can you put the website and prices for those upgrades.

      With all the upgrades you would probably be able to beat stock honda civics

      Running strong with new engine, transmission, brakes and suspension.

        Where do you plan to get the underdrive pullies? The only one I know of is for the crank...

        You don't need a tranny cooler because your car has one stock.

          The nitto tires are worthless becuz an auto 3.4 won't have a problem with spinning tires until it's running sub 15s.

          If you put on a CAI, I would reccomend just using a crank UD pulley. My alternator is already way overworked with the battery in the trunk. So much that I HAD to get an Optima red top in order to start the car.

            Don't worry about the MSD DIS-4 unless you want to spend 300+ for 1-2 mpg and smoother idle. I saw no performance gains with it and got rid of it. Also, I wouldn't bother with the coils either. Oldskool had a set go bad from the factory, and there really isn't anything better than stock GM coils considering their output and longevity.

            You can't really do much to the stock exhaust manifolds either to get you much of a gain, but if you don't want to make headers I guess its your only choice. Honestly, you don't have many performance mods listed that will do a whole lot for you other than the nitrous and possibly the TB. I don't care for the stock plenum at all, which is why I am making a new intake setup for mine. Other than that, your car should handle pretty well with those modifications.

                In reference to the Pulleys I have fabbed up a Water Pump Pulley Myself,
                and in reference to the MSD I can get all that stuff at 10% over cost . I am also going to Use Type F but use the Red Line Synthetic Type F, been told it would be the best for my situation. I am also now in the stages of doing a Header Set - Up for it. A friend of Mine is a Fab guy in NASCAR, and his specialty is Exhaust Systems. We are also building Killer Motors for us (He also has a Z)We are also planning on making up several different parts, and Pieces for the early

                  Hmmmm....interesting. Keep us posted on this Zfreak. It would be amazing if our dreams of headers were finally made reality. How serious are you about this?

                        Because people don't understand that we have a private message system and it is to be used for such occasions. I have cleaned up the off topic posts.

                            Just to let my opinion get heard. He asked me, I did not start off selling the stuff. He asked me, I said yes, PM me. That was it.

                            As far as the aftermarket parts go. I think the 3 most worthwhile are cams, headers, and an intake manifold. They will argue about the intake, that ours is tuned blah blah blah. But I saw dyno sheets showing otherwise. As for headers, its obvious they will be awesome, if they are built right. Just spend the time and $ to make the set worthwhile, with good specs(ie length, diameter, collector, etc.). They will fit, it just takes some craftiness. Cams, i think for stock or nearly stock motors the guys on desktop dyno have come up with some great specs, showing 60hp gains! But as soon as you start changing the intakes, that changes how the cams should be made. For some reason, I'm guessing the DOHC head and such, our intake manifold totally changes the motors power rnage. So much more than your traditional SBC/pushrod 660.
