Some dealers will play ball, some won't. The dealer installed mine.

If I had to guess why people get rid of FI'd Z's, it would be that they cut corners on the build and/or install, and have nagging little issues that eventually drive them nuts. The guys that have no problems seem to be the ones that bought all the supporting mods, and had it installed by a shop with experience with that particular setup.

As far as reliablity goes, I figured that if the car can handle 500-550whp without a problem, I'd aim for the 450-475whp area and be happy. That's still a lot of power, and the car's my daily driver. I don't feel comfortable running something right up to the ragged edge. Still need to get it on the dyno and see how close to that number I got.
