Heading back to the topic at hand....what is really holding this kit back from making 550+hp? Injectors? Bigger turbo? (I wish I knew what turbo it came with BTW) Better tune? Engine build? Regardless, its all parts you would need if you upgraded any other kit (Depending on the STS turbo).

I don't understand the fascination with 600+whp. It's not streetable, I can see it if you are constantly at the track.
IMO you can have a ton of fun with a good 400whp 350Z. Even that can get you in trouble in a hurry if you don't have the experience.
When I started my build everyone was telling me not to build it myself and to just get a TT kit and call it a day. I built the kit for $2600 (EMS not included) and the setup is capable of making over 450whp easy (turbo flow 61 lbs/min 781cfm). I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.
So much for listening to the TT crowd.

I agree. I also agree that boost is like crack but i think if you're a reasonable person you can live with 400+rwhp on a stock block. And from what I've seen with some of the built motor guys on here it seems like almost a better option to just run 400 on a stock block and be ready to throw a new one in.
