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!
Thanks! Yeah, I married into a true Coonass family from LA.

this is good intel! 6,000 is a good run. I would assume that if you had an issue, it would have reared it head by now. (AND we don't want any issues) .
Also, based on my own experiences, your comment, "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." seems simple, but its (in my opinion) a major factor in the install. This will be were I focus my efforts next.
