Its completely realistic with a centrifugal supercharger, the Vortech kits for the 350Z were making 440whp with 352 ft./lbs, our engine displaces more than the 3.5L, which leads me to believe that 350 ft./lbs is a very realistic number. I dont understand how we can have a larger engine and make less power with the supercharger. And BTW, this was using the same V-3 blower that Stillen is using.
