$14K gets you an LS7... So for half the loot, you can drop in a 505HP 500Lbs/Tq motor.

Much cheaper and still extremely reliable.

If you're going to go N/A and spend that much money, might as well do a motor swap.

Agreed...However then you're talking about a new transmission and driveline that will work with the LS setup. So you'r back up to over 20 by the time everything's installed and operating. At least in my mind...I could be wrong. I think you're right about doing a motor swap though. There are conversion kits out now for the Titan motor fitting into the Z's. I'd bet you could easily achieve over 400 HP N/A and fit within a 15K budget.

LSx swap is always a good option.
