No one is willing to fork the money out to see what almost a full liter of extra displacement will do for an N/A Z? I can't imagine the performance gains you would get out of a Z with the full CF treatment and a 4.5L engine that can safely spin to 8,000 RPM (maybe bump the CR to 12.xx:1) with all the bolt on mods!
Wow... sounds like the worlds crappiest sounding v6 that guzzles a lot of gas for gains that will rival a v8 using double the amount of fuel. After stroking out a VQ, you better use some type of forced induction to control fuel consumption. I rather just buy the GTR engine and drop it in a Z for that money.

Uhhh you can use forced induction to add power and control fuel consumption if you program the ecu for such. A very low boost would add power and control consumption better under light driving than a car that bored out naturally aspirated. Of course if you get on that same car you will lose fuel, just like with intakes and exhaust mods.
