i wouldnt mind seeing a company take some chances

i.e: new manifolds, individual throttle bodies, active exhaust, larger tb's, polishing throttle bodies (no i'm not paying mines $3700 to do 3 hours worth of machining), roots style blowers, ANOTHER TUNING SOLUTION, different cam options, more companies offering head work, etc, etc...

i just feel like the aftermarket has been somewhat asleep at the wheel on the performance for the vq37
Many of those items you listed you can have done at a good shop, if they can do it for X engine they can do it for the VQ37, just have to work with them on what you want. Like, larger TB, polishing TB, cams, etc. ITB and roots blower can be done by good shops as one offs but will be more expensive.
Tuning, I think Uprev is doing a great job, we now have VVEL starting to come out with early testing and seeing good results. Tuning is something you do not want to rush, and with the limit size of the Z ownership things will be a little slower compared to other cars.
