-Pulleys - going to be MINIMAL gain seen from these.

This isnt Need for Speed: Underground here, dude. I bet people will be lucky to get maybe 310-320 to the wheels with a TOP QUALITY I/H/E setup and tune. Either way, you'll just be disappointed if you want to play the numbers game on this car, and drag it to a Mustang Dyno...which is where you should rightfully go for a tune, anyway.
Your posts are about as abrasive as they are wrong. Thanks dude, I can tell the difference between reality and video games. People like you are what is wrong with the forums, you come on here and play the Internet tough guy, but I guarantee you you won't talk like that to me, or anyone else, when we are standing right in front of you. I doubt if you have read any of the findings from G37s (which is a much better comparison than the 350Z) but they support my estimations fairly closely.

Apparently you can't tell the difference from one engine to another. If you knew anything about cars you would also know that hotter spark (ignition) will yield power even without any supporting mods. It results in a better more efficient burn. Pulleys may be a small gain, but that's how you make power slowly through an intelligent selection of upgrades. Injectors are for good measure, the other mods will result in a leaned AF ratio; better injectors provide a margin of safety rather than your assumption of it. Anyway, I said 400 Crank HP in both posts. 400 Crank with a 22% drive-train loss is right in the 330-340 RWHP neighborhood. So, it would appear to me you have no idea how Crank and RW horsepower interrelate. Maybe you should read more and post less.
