Then everything past bolt ons is over your ceiling right now. You will always be tinkering and maintaining a car once you go with any kind of aftermarket forced induction. You need to know what to do to keep it on the road, how to do it and own the tools and workspace required.

Also, aftermarket forced induction on a daily driver is a poor choice. I did it for years, but it is not the best way to do things. Even a reliable boosted Z will be down from time to time for parts, etc.

Honestly, if this is your first car the absolute worst thing I can think of is you having 500+ whp in a short wheelbase vehicle with traction problems.
