If you are going to critique troubleshooting/research methodologies, make sure you also compare "apples-to-apples". Though, I agree with your comment about researching 100%. The reason I say this, is because I've met many people who claim "no issues" with max HP builds, but what you don't find out till later is that this is a trailer queen, or they only average about 5,000 miles a year on the car. If it’s a daily driver through all kinds of environmental situations and they still maintain stock drivability, now that's a testimonial. If its a 1 day a week ride ,then no, I' dont think the feedback is comparable.

Well uhh you could find out if they're DD their Z or if its a "trailer queen" by researching... Off the top of my head I think I can think of 3 guys that DD their Z. I have a stage 2 Gtm that I DD and its over 500+hp. There's nothing wrong with daily drivin a boosted Z. If you have a good installer n a good tuner the Z will last quite a long time with double the horsepower.
The statement made earlier was simply some guy too scared or unwilling to put the money needed to boost a Z correctly. No need to try to spoil it for others with posts that a boosted Z won't last or give a lot of problems, especially in the FI section.
Just research and find out which shops have the most positive feedback and which shop has a lot of knowledge on the VQ platform and tuning. People who skip that part are the bitter ones that have problems with their Z.
6k miles so far and I still have the silly grin on my face everytime I start my car. Haven't had a single problem from day 1 except for a heavier right foot.
Btw Coon, grrrrrreat name! Lol!
