Here's where I read it:

2010 Nissan Nismo 370Z - 2009 New York Auto Show Coverage, New car Reviews, Concept Cars - Automobile Magazine

In order to provide power to match the track prowess, Nismo also fiddled with the Z's engine. The 3.7-liter V-6 is almost identical to that in a normal 370Z, but thanks to a Nismo exhaust system and a tricked-out engine control module, it sees a substantial boost in power. The Nismo-tuned mill produces 350 hp at 7400 rpm (vs. 332 hp @ 7000 rpm) and 276 lb-ft of torque (up from 270) at 5200 rpm. Nismo 370Zs are only available with a six-speed manual transmission, which is equipped with the trick rev-matching system.

Funny, the opening paragraph of the article says:

Nissan's new 370Z may be quite nimble, but those hankering for a track-ready package should consider stepping up to the new 2010 Nismo 370Z, which debuts at the 2009 New York auto show.

That's pretty laughable. But to be fair, these are Automobile mag's words, not Nissan's.

You're right, I think my mind made a connection with the available Nismo intakes and the production Nismo vehicle. Whoops. I AM now disappointed that my Synchro-Rev transmission doesn't do magic tricks for me

And Robert, in rereading your earlier posts you DID say you didn't think it'd provide appreciable performance gains unless they were in tandem with FI or extreme modifications. I guess it just depends on your price/performance ratios, but there's been a number of posters here with proven gains (10% isn't uncommon so far) by just upgrading the airflow.

Well, I likely didn't express it well but what I was trying to convey is that an engine, in otherwise stock form; doesn't really need additional air flow and/or isnt' really going to benefit from it. By extension, then, if you start opening up the exhaust side of the equation then more air flow in would likely be a good thing!
