Also I bet my Z would appear to be way low on power if I had it dyno'd since I'm at 4k feet. Anyways, have you decided how you are going to do this build?

i  everytime i see someone say 'slap on' a supercharger or turbos.

seriously.... how cool would a 450-500hp all motor z be. and if in the future you wanted to get retarded with it.... your already set up for a platform that could handle in the 1k hp range. .... thats not what i want. but im just saying.

a fully built high revving NA motor is not at all set up for forced induction.
theres correction factors for a reason. when you dyno in extreme heat, cold low/high altitude, the dyno factors that in. Thats how people tweak dynos so that fools believe that their car made more power than it actually did. if you tell the dyno that your car is at 5000ft and its 100*F but you are actualy at sea level and its 60*f, you'll make a lot of power. you can get a dyno to read whatever you want.

Btw, most of the things you will do to make high N/A hp is the opposite to what you would do for a FI build, so I'm not sure how you would get to 1000hp.
Enjoy your N/A build.

for your sake, i hope the knowledge test has nothing to do with vehicles or engine building.
