Let me dispel one thing... Do not raise your compression! It will net you very LITTLE power and only hamper your ability to find gas outside of pumping your own barrel of 100+ octane.

Things you should do for an easy 450+ whp:
4.2l or 4.3l stroker with
Stock compression Pistons
Forged rods
Dry sump oiling system or a semi dry system if you want A/C
Built heads with JUN 282 cams
Replace the intake manifold (upper and lower) with one like 1slow370gygh
Run 3" throttle bodies from an 09+ maxima (talk to 1slow370) and a 3" cold intake
Run headers
3" exhaust or Tomei

Tune by Jon @ Z1

Bam 450+whp

This is the route I would go and may end up going with my new Nismo...

Maxima 09+ TBs are 75mm.

not direct fit on the 370z, you need either an adaptor or a whole new intake manifold.
couple years ago I did that adaptor and you can see how much bigger the maxima 09 TB is.

the oem intake manifold inlet are about 63-64mm and could be bored a bit bigger but there isnt much meat around and its in plastic.

You will be require re-pin the driver plug for the TB.

I wanted to bore out the stock ones but I think I read somewhere that most go is like 68mm but I could be wrong. But for the money someone could get two maxima TB. I already have the upper plenum ported. How much did you spend on the adaptors? And what do you mean by a re-pin? Thanks for the pictures and info

that 68mm is the outside mesurement pretty much on the intake manifold inlet.
I wouldnt go more than 65mm....
keep it mind, its plastic.

I spend 10$ on the 2 adapter that I machined at work and a couple hours.

The 370z as you know has 2 TB and they arent interchangeable.
the plug arent pinned the same from both side.

Like I said if I remember correctly its the driver side that need to be re-pinned like the passenger side.

that was my secret mod at the time just before I blew the VVEL and then well it was put on hold. Never tried the setup.

The maxima throttle bodies will only be beneficial on a custom intake like the GTM built one for 1slow370.

I think you mis read what I wrote. I wanted to bore out the stock throttle bodies. z1 ported my upper plenum. Sending out the stock throttle bodies to get ported costs just as much as just buying 2 stock maxima TB which are already a bigger diameter than the potentially ported 370s. I wanted to do porting of the TB or a bigger one if possible before I put on 3 inch charge pipes
