They are running on average mid to high-12s at 110-113 MPH...hardly impressive for a sports-car nowadays, and not impressive at all considering the cost/work/headache of such extensive modification.
It seems to me that if you want a fast Z, you put up the money (and headache) of building the motor and going with a proper turbo setup, or stay content with minor bolt-ons. Staying in that middle-ground looks like nothing more than a complete waste of time.
I'll eat my words when I start to see 370Zs running 116+ MPH with a supercharger, bolt-ons, and a tune.

Not everybody wants a supercharger for the track. I want one for daily driven power thats reliable. A TT will not be good for either. And keep in mind a 600whp G37 ran a mid/low 12 second pass. Wont be easy breaking 11's, even TT'ed. And last time I checked, low 12's aint no slouch by any means. Also, understand that the VQ37 is a more responsive, higher displacement engine than the DE, that same Stg 2 kit would make more power on the 370. Also, not everybody can throw around 20 Gs which would be approximate total cost for a TT build.
