Mods to Add More Torque?
VQ40 swap. It bolts up. If you don't have a Revup you don't need anything to swap it, just an HR or VHR transmission. You would have to modify the intake and possibly get a RWD upper oil pan and lower from a HR or VHR because the oil filter might not clear the front sway bar with the VQ40.
with NA mods you would probably get 300 rwtq or close to it. I think it's plenty.

Not sure if serious...
LS swap would be far more cost effective and easier to make power with.
It cost thousands more and it's not exactly plug and play and some states it wont pass emissions/smog. I assume the op doesn't have 10k right now.

You kids, so spoiled today...
Your Z has 3X the amount of torque my RX-7 had when I was 18 (of course it weighed half as much). The Nissan engineers worked really hard to have much of it available at a very low RPM and build in a linear fashion so that the powerband is as wide and usable as possible. This flexibility gives the driver confidence in many situations like getting on the power mid corner.
If you want a car that feels fast (and breaks loose mid corner)...get an old school small-displacement big boost turbo that has a torque curve like mt. everest.

Then all these kids will die in the corners by running off the mountain.

That doesnt mean I cant ask for future reference, right? Jeez I hope not, or Id be even more clueless than I am now (workin on it). Im not gonna start the whole Im not spoiled thing (stated my opinions in "Regards to 17 year olds with Z" thread") but I work for my car, Im still paying for my car, I love my car)Thanks for taking the time to reply though, yes I do appreciate my car very much. Nissan did sw33t.

Nobody cares about your BS non VQ35 related comments, if you can't give tips related to one then don't give any period. I would eat any stock LS, no matter what number you put at the end.
APS extreme TT kit, Mrev2 with 5/16 spacer and so on for my revup. Real torque.

noob
A set of crappy tires will give you the same feel. Ever swap to a set of nice fresh tires and the car feels slow since you actually hace traction?
Really dude?
How about a Modified LS vs your Modified VQ? Wow, listing a plenum spacer as a power mod.... impressive.
