now the Z06....maybe.

It's all good I am happy with my Z, for now lol. It would definitely be nice to have more power though. I have been debating on ordering the Stillen supercharger kit. Both of my previous cars were 400 at the wheels so this thing feels slow.

C7s are sweet but I don't want to spend that much on a vehicle right now. I definitely hear you on the AARP card though

don't go supercharger unless all you want is 400whp. if you ever want to get real power you'll need turbo/turbos. SC just doesn't seem worth it cost wise to me but if you're 7AT you wont need tranny upgrades with a weak SC lol

You know nobody has figured out how much power is required to break a MT. AT however is another story.

I think 400whp would be perfect on this car. I worry about long term reliability as I tend to drive my car hard. I would also be doing the instal myself and I would rather not have to pull the motor.

there's never enough power in any car

its a crap shoot with the car's engine. some have blown 100% stock and others are pushing 15psi/650whp on e85 and stock block with no issues.

You can do the TT install without pulling the motor. Not ideal but it can be done.

more or less the BP single kit is the easier version to install without dropping.

TT you can leave the block in but enjoy bloody knuckles lol

True. After doing it I'm pretty positive I could knock it out in one weekend

I drive the crap out of mine at 418whp and love it. It's been on the car for 1 1/2 years and close to 20,000 miles now with a good chunk of that at the track. The only thing that's a real pain is keeping the car cool. The 370Z is hard to keep cool if you drive it hard.

That's one of the benefits to owning a G. Having the grill introduces a ton more air to keep things cool. I consistently read 15-20deg cooler coolant temp than comparably equipped Z's.
