I'm new here two and have been looking at 370s for over a year now thinking that this will be my next car. First thing I noticed is the cost of turbo or supercharger kits, yikes. I have been driving and modifying my Jeep TJ for the last 12 years and was surprised to see how much more stuff costs for these cars. It took a long time for turbo and supercharger kits to come out for the jeeps 4.0 engine, bigger companies are doing them and the cost seems to be less than half of the cost of the z stuff.

From my last few months of searching I get the feeling that adding a supercharger or turbo means you might not have a reliable z any more. Just from my internet searching just seems like something is not working right when guys finally get all the stuff installed then sell them. Of course I know nothing more than what I read on the internet.

The 370Z engine is not weak it's just that, in sports car applications, people are more likely to push things to the limit and beyond. Keep the boost reasonable and the engine should be safe.
