You can't ?!?!?

LOL... you're dearly mis-informed.

I think the Z will be a beast if its NA capabilities are fully exploited. If I can't muster the money for an FI setup, this is the route I will definitely be going.

I believe that the VQ35 is capable of 290-300 rwhp NA with bolt ons, cams, and proper ECU tuning.

300rwhp @ 3200lbs with some DR's has the potential to dip into the 12's

I wouldn't expect more than 60rwhp gains without FI.

I'm pretty sure there are people on this board that are anlready over 300 rwhp and they dont even have all the NA performance items... I believe when the entire aftermarket hits for the Z that we may be able to get to around 330-340 this will require a bit of work, and will probably leave no stone unturned... this means bumpin compression and a lot of tuning...

tiem will tell gusy - this si a new motor for nissan (relatively speaking), and a new chassis with a new ecu - time will tell what can be exploited from it reliably.

On paper, I see no reason why a properly setup and well tuned 3.5 liter V6 cannot make close to 400 at the wheels, completely NA. Of course this will require a large investment in time and money, as well as a few pioneers to pave the way.
