Default Supercharge or not

I am in the process of trading my beloved 92 300zx for a 04 350z and my goals are to achieve 350-380hp with the 350z. The 350z already has a full aftermarket exhaust and intake, so my question is will a stage 1 supercharger get me to my goal quickly and reliably or should I add additional parts?

OP is your build with the stock engine?
There are tons of threads about this, search! Look under the FI section.
Other than that just adquire all the supporting mods to go FI.

500 shot of NOS is all u need, will run like a champ! Super reliable cuz you'll only be running the 500 shot when u push the GO BABY GO button! You'll thank me later.

Start with e/t streets and some line locks. Maybe unhook the front sway bar

This is the graph of my 03 with a Vortech, 3.13 pully, 440 injectors and UTEC. Gets you were you want to be, and you can actually probably make a little more TQ then i made, I stayed VERY conservitive with my timing.

Vortech is the easiest way to go. I love them, but turbos cause headaches. Took me two TT kits and two ST kits to figure it out.
