With the exception of a few, most people will "feel" the same way. Overall "shitty" response to bolt ons and most internal work. Boosting these motors will yeild results that will make many people content, including myself, so I will NOT say that its not worth modding....just not N/A, to most people.
To the OP: I would usually tell you to search, but in this case you don't even have to. Just look @ the first 3 pages of this forum and you'll find a few threads with people asking the same question that you have.
Click this link...this thread is basically on the same topic, only its for the Z6/Y8. If most people say its pointless for THAT motor...i'd say your motor is even worse of a choice. Read through that thread and i'll bet you'll have alot of your questions answered, and a very good idea of which route you will want to take.

Spend nothing but required fluids on it. If it was a Y8 I'd say boost it, but that engine has no potential w/o spending money as a strong daily driver IMO :-\.

Yeah. Although it won't yeild much power...for people that do not have huge HP goals, this would be absolutely fine for a daily driver in my opinion. Good advice.
