IIRC, that's a built 4.0 with a bunch of other goodies that probably cost as much for the motor as it did for the Z to put it in. 1Slow spent a mint to hit ~375whp.
A 400whp NA Z is for bragging rights only. It will get smoked by a FI Z at the same hp level in a straight line and coming out of a corner. If you're down with spending 2x the money for the same hp and much less torque, go for it. It's a cool project from an engineering standpoint, but the end result may be pretty underwhelming out in the real world.

I don't know of any 400whp 370z on a stock block. As far as FI being superior on the track is all about the set up and driver. 400 whp would be bragging rights but, just imagine if someone could reach it and then build off that. Big learning curve people and companies could build off of. No other company besides gtm a and cj motorsports are even interested in the NA market. But I don't blame them when you can spend the same amount of money for a TT kit and make close to 700 whp. I just prefer a screaming NA MOTOR over forced induction.
