I thought about FI but I am just going to enjoy what I have and buy a used Corvette LS3 Z51 6M in a few years when the Z has about 100k miles on it I am at 30k right now.
Now the Corvette responds very well to mods. I was actually cross shopping the 2009 C6 Z51 and the 370z Sport/Touring some times I think I should have coughed up the extra 5-6k for the C6. It's ridiculous how much HP they put out.

If the wife gets the new job she is trying for then I will be trading in the Z for a 2011 GS LT3 corvette. It looks nice and having 400+ hp and 400+ tq on a NA is awesome. Here in El paso I will have some pretty good open areas to feel the cars potential and there is a nice hilly twisty road that goes over the mountain to get to the other side of the city that will be a nice drive for it.
Wifey gets the new job I get the new car. Gotta love it.
