Well the price of the Kits alone amount to that so it sounds like a good deal with install and tuning!! The Vette Kit alone is about 9 G's and the Z Kit can be found for about $5495 complete with everything so sounds good to me!

Use CinMotorsports Turn-key package as a guide which is around $5900 installed. I'm not sure about how much the Vette STS kit cost but anything between $6000-$6500 installed and tuned for the 350z is a good price.

The thing about these Kits is that as long as you can follow instructions a Monkey can install them! So a shop with a lift as long as they are reputable i'm sure can handle it.

/\ Boost is just addicting and yes you will want more. If you are on stock motor then you don't really have a choice but to stay below 400whp. 360whp-380whp is still much better than stock power and it will be enough to make you smile for a while.

Yeah! All the cool new sounds you get will be enough to make you smile as well. You can also spray methanol to make a little more power safely. It will raise your octane as well as reduce intake temps dramatically so as long as you know how far you want to take it, You can make as much power as you want. There are other threads that will tell you how far you can take a stock motor given the AFR's are good. Some people are pushing 450 and even 500!! You will need an upgraded turbo though so just ask them which one will be good for you. But most people are happy with 400 rear wheel. The base Turbo is good to 550 Crank so pushing it should give you bout 450 but you will want an upgrade if you want that much to the wheels consistently and have the Turbo run within it's efficiency range.

That really is not true. They are somewhat confusing.

I'm sure that at first they were specially with the first kits out the door but there have been many revisions done so you should be fine now.
