surely you are joking.
I am continually stunned every time I look at this thread, and people are pushing the "NA=reliable" claim. In reality, at power level that are even REMOTELY comparable, you are going to see better reliability with boost every time.
You can get to 400ish whp no problem with mild boost and a conservative tune, and probably run the car for 100k+. Trying to get to even 360whp NA is going to mean cracking the engine open, and running a significantly more aggressive tune...not to mention probably cutting down on the air intake filtration. Look at the 350 Megan370z posted... it is running ITBs, and a hella aggressive tune, not to mention all the other crap. Trying to wrench power out of an NA build means a whole lot more risk to the engine, all with a much lower reward.
If SS wants to do it because he can afford it, I'll be one of the first people to subscribe to the build thread, but if he does it, it should be with eyes wide open to the risks.

So adding FI to a NA car is more reliable? So im seeing more guys with z's and G's adding Strokers along with a FI kit. Why are they doing that? to make the car more reliable! buddies na mustang with 135K... Cam, heads you name it and the car still runs. He is still in college he has needed a tune and new spark plugs a year ago and the car is still running. Let me see a boosted car last a year needing a re tune. The car that Megan370z posted im not telling OP to run anything like that. more like gabe3d over at (my350z) with the Stroker, cam G35 who has 100 miles on the engine. NA is reliable.
