My 370Z is probably making around 350hp with CBE/smooth bellows. Why the HELL! would you want to add turbos for 50bhp!?

I agree with UNK. That's stupid, and that motor is very expensive, and we already have something just as "good" as the outlined solution if you don't mind modding a bit. Or Nissan could throw some headers on it and a re-tune and re-do some VVT timing and all and be right at about 380bhp I would bet.
