c'mon guys lets not all beat up on the rich kid (hell i'm only 3 yrs older than him). Ok now seriously i urge you to reconsider the FI option. turbo setups are not always laggy, it depends on how it is setup, if the kit can hit full boost around 3000 you aren't going to know, and also what is your experience with horsepower, and not " i drove a lambo once" have you ever driven a rear wheel drive car with more than 400hp on a wet road?you could end up getting even a stage one turbo our supercharger good for over 400hp as a base/safe/longevity setup, and not know what the hell to do and ditch it the first time you hit the power. i would say drive your car for a year before you even think about any of this so you will have a better idea of what you really want to change. Either way if you don't like the way a turbo comes on i PROMISE a supercharger is totally different maybe stop out by gtm and see if Sam can get you a drive in the stage one shop car. It will feel seamless like it was just a bigger motor. and as for the N/a build the centrifugal supercharger will pull up through redline and our motors can already be tuned to go over 7500 as they are now. you sir are the perfect candidate for a centrifugal supercharger(especially if you really like top end via your turbo the sh!t out of your friends supra comment). The GTM stage 2 will be out this spring, and thats looking at 450whp easy for less than half your budget. And an N/a build may last a bit longer than a F/I build(not much if you're gonna go crazy like your first post) but it will be a hell of a lot cheaper to rebuild because WHEN your 20,000 N/a blows up it will cost at least that again to fix not to mention getting all your custom(because no one makes that sh!t right now)parts remade. get a GTM supercharger, and use youre extra money for a suspension upgrade(the nismo stuff is crap compared to the current aftermarket kits) clutch and flywheel, maybe do something with the body and wheels, and hell get a stroker motor built.<---now doesn't that sound better than a totally stock nismo with a just a 400hp engine? Also Sam is a pro that has had his hands on a hell of a lot more Z's than your uncle and these cars very much require vehicle specific knowledge, they're nothing like a chevy, dodge, or ford, and even factory nissan techs hardly know sh!t about them.
