RCZ stated some of the turbo guys overheat (TRUE) and mainly use their power for bragging rights = TRUE. But you can tune a turbo car to be great at the track also. It just comes down to what you want. I prefer NA and lightly mods with a great tune.

In a tracking scenario, depending where that 16 whp is applied may make a nice difference.
I am now on your level. I had the fully blown rx7. Flyin down the strip n tail comin out like a bat outta hell. This time with my Z, I want to pull the most power while staying n/a.
Back home, I had my cousin who was my mechanic. I think it n he'd make it possible if he though it be doable for my car..
Now I'm at this myself, do u have any recommendations for 370z exhausts.
I had a stillen in my G35 but honestly, expected jus a tad bit more from my exhaust set up.
I was missing hfc's tho so that might be y?
Which is the lightest good performing exhaust under $2,500
Weight is very important to me. I'm trying to shed 100-150lbs from my Z wen it gets here.
