The answer really comes down to your response there. FI Z's are uniquely impressive, and probably a really awesome car to have. I think the majority of the guys running FI'd Z's have had really good luck with them as well--I trust the car is generally reliable under boost.

On the other hand, any car modified like that poses a unique set of risks...there is always the risk of a horror story, whether due to the car, the kit, the tune, or just bad luck.

Figure out your tolerance for risk, and you should have a pretty good idea of your answer.
