A few questions about the 370Z engine

I am thinking about buying a 370Z Nismo edition. I was wondering how stout the engine is. At what hp level do you have to start replacing the internals etc?

If you maintain a car it won't break down. If you don't beat on it 24/7 it won't break down. Member on here has nearly 100k miles and just regular maintenance.

I am talking more like adding a supercharger to it. Like how strong is the bottom end. What can the stock internals support.

Thank you. 500 would be about all I wanted. I already have a 900+ hp car. Who makes a supercharger or turbo kit for the 370? I see tons of stuff for the 350 but not the 370.

Not sure, but a 4G63 motor is nothing to laugh at. I dropped a 4G64 in my Evo and that was a screamer. The Dsms and Evo are much easier to work with.

not really sure what is so funny about 900 plus hp. I guess just a bunch of guys that really don't have experience with cars.
