The op said "the Z can't perform...to the standards I'm accustomed". The point I'm making is the 370Z will never be competitive with the Z06 or 911 GT3 or Mustang Boss 302 or Z28. If one wants that level of performance why drain one's pocketbook trying to morph a Z into something it wasn't designed to do. Unless you just want to.

I think everyone understands the flip side of that coin is some love a challenge, creating something unique and unexpected. If that describes you then "more power to you" and mod away. It can always be done. One could retrofit a GTR engine in a Z if one has the determination, persistence, and resources. It's your money and your time.

Best of luck to the op...

I didn't say it was an ugly car, but I see them everyday, the Z not so much...i'd rather build then buy is what i'm getting at. or buy and mod...He already has the Z, why not see how far it can go with some bolt-ons.

My next DD will be a boring Chevy Truck, but will be seeing a host of mods, including a SC, Drop Kit, Wheels/Tire, Intake, Exhaust, Headers, Audio...Thus not so boring. :tup:

It's all about the tune and the pertain building the motor. Take your time triple check everything and the motor will be fine. These motors can handle alot of punishment. 400 whp horsepower isn't out the realm for a na build, i figure it will cost just add much as superchargering. 9krpm Z would sounds intoxicating.

That's what I'm going for. Hopefully by end of year or early next year; I'm lucky enough to have a top Z shop to do the job near me.

Wish you the best of luck, my budget will only take me to 8k rpms. Maybe in a few years i can afford a dry sump and a built motor

Also hilarious that someone said to just buy a Z06 and OP already has one. :icon18:

No, not the Z06. It's my fathers and he lives close, we were putting on some APR carbon fiber aero:icon17:

I've driven it plenty though, and I really don't care for the massive amounts of power even with his limited modifications. I'm really considering a rebuild with cats, headers, and a very aggressive tune at this point in time. Seems like most other options put me at risk, especially for a DD.
