both, sg you need to start a build thread and ask all your questions in it. better way, we can keep track of what you have done and plan to do. easier to answer questions.

definitely start a thread. if you like going fast and want more HP, i'd focus on bolt on parts first.

i did all these plus cam and heads. then I got the car repainted, ordered wheels/tires, did the stereo, and other looks-related stuff.

then again, if it was a daily driver, i'd probably focus on appearance rather than HP...especially with gas prices.

I did and am still working on looks right now because I sort of daily drive/commute in my Z. I did do full exhaust and CAI just so it performed a little better for now and sounds better. I want to do everything cosmetic first besides paint job, then I will start my complete drive train build, then paint to top it off.
