It may also be possible to go with a bigger Vortech Supercharger altogether. The V-2 SQ SC-Trim is the only unit offered with the 350Z kit but the V-1 T-Trim seems like it would fit also.

We're going to be working with Vortech for our Project G35
to find out which supercharger combination it's going to take for us to make 500+ on pump and 600+ on race gas with a built motor.
