A couple notes I noticed, boost looks to kick in around 3K and tacs out around 6800ish rpms. The Guage literally jumps from 3K to 6k and he's rocking TCS on!! I know TCS on my 350z shut the throttle down to control traction.... so keep all I said in mind and now imagine this in a tiny 3000 pound car. I would of course get a manual. The gear ratios could be slightly different as well which could add even more.
This video you can hear the engine  yum

Cool videos! I'm concerned about "drive by wire" and hope that isn't part of the Z - we want MORE connection with the car not less.

Stillen put the car on a dyno and found out the the 400hp figure is VERY conservative: http://www.infinitiq50.org/forum/sti...ort-3-0tt.html "This motor is definitely underrated. The factory claims 400hp and 350 ft-lbs as the output at the crank. Assuming 15-20% drivetrain loss (7 speed auto and runflat tires). We estimate the engine is actually making 440-470 HP and 410-440 Ft-Lbs at the crank. Keep in mind this is also on California 91 octane (the worst gas for making power)."

This bodes well indeed for the new Z using this powerplant!
