You can add all the power in the world, your 0-60 time usually doesn't change more than 0.5-1.0 sec without major traction mods.

That is one thing, I am running 305s in the rear and JB is still on stock tires currently.
I think with equal PSI (8 or less) the kits are fairly equal overall, more of a drivers race, but with a TT build you can throw in a boost controller and dial up to 10 for a bit and have some room for error. SC setup you are set at the PSI and cannot go up or down with changes.

simple change in the pulleys would allow for more no? referencing the sc.

It is one of the things, also need to tune the car, make sure the unit is within its efficiency range with the newer pulley, etc.

Would I be correct in assuming that a 370Z running a TT at 10psi will not live as long as one with an SC running at 8psi?

Yes and No,

if your keeping everything identical yeah 10psi of wear will be different than 8psi of wear... so to answer your question the 2psi extra can cause more wear. However, No because where the Turbo only pulls exhaust gases off of the car the Supercharger actually attaches to the front assembly which means you have parasitic loss which will cause more strain on the engine components.

Honestly, They both wear about the same and there is not enough noticeable difference to choose one over the other in that regards.

---------------------------------------------

To answer which one is faster off of the line:
right now the TT>SC and will win hands down until higher stage SC's become available. Now there is something else you must know!!!

My VQ45TT 370z is the Ceiling Cat of all Forced Induction here and owns all who dare step within its presence! 4.5L TT > TT > SC

Point of clarification, you will have a 450Z not a 370Z.
