Love his breakdown of the Toyota brake upgrade, and he nailed the "bigger ain't better" with regard to the MC bore... but he neglects to mention the most important brake upgrade: Tires. Every car has the capability to lock up the wheels under aggressive braking, so any brake upgrade is a waste of money without properly sticky tires.
The "strut brace" suggestion is likewise incorrect. Unless it's tied into the bulkhead behind the firewall, it's doing absolutely nothing on an early Z (except transferring flex to the flimsy towers).
Header wrap is an archaic and problematic mod that's best left to the boomer crowd. Ceramic coating is the solution, and won't trap moisture or contribute to corrosion.
Otherwise, some great info for a Z newbie!
(Maybe I'll hit him up and convince him to swap out those awful 280Z hubcaps for some proper 240Z caps).
