Im in the exact same position as you are. Im in the netherlands with a Z and thinking of going FI. I think the best we can do is go with the vortech with a nice tune and the 3.12 pulley. Or just not do it at all. Turbo will be lots of cash and headaches i think.

stock motor: go with Vortech. 350-370 whp is still a lot of fun especially if its a daily driver. One more thing with the Vortech: its the only FI kit that is CARB approved which may or may not matter where you live.

Can you get an HKS gt supercharger? Stock it has great bottom end unlike the vortech which pulls at 5000 rpm. The hks starts at 3500 and is more driveable IMO

If you are even remotely concerned with resale, you probably should not mod. If you can think of money on mods like money spent on vacation, then go for it and enjoy.

What are you looking to spend? If the answer is 10k or less, then you shouldn't be looking into F/I the long term costs will add up.

hmmm i have completely overlooked that one.
the tuning company i'm in contact with about installing a kit is actually a hks pro dealer so i will ask them what the possibilities are..
thnx for the tip.

my undestand of the hks SC is it makes better power than the vortech with an extra $2k invested.... I totally agree the quality of it is outstanding, but seems a single turbo would be better way to spend that same money...
