I asked this in NA mainly because I'm trying to figure what supporting mods I can do before actual F/I, but thought I'd ask you guys too, budget wise I make about 2500 to 3000 after bills, depending on how much alcohol I cut back on.

So I got my flame suit on and I apologize in advance if I am asking redundant questions. Understand Please that I am a newbie and have learned everything I know about the VQ35DE in the past few weeks, other than the fact it's a 3.5. I drive an 04 350z Touring MT with 78k. I went over all the forums and got a lot of great insight but still have a few questions on my specific build that I 'think' I would like to do. Please correct me along the way if I'm saying something wrong like vtec or something.
First off I have bassani exhaust, injen cai, and a moterdyne 3/8" plenum spacer. I know I'm probably pushing stock numbers still my goal is to go above 600rwhp even if I dyno it at 600.1hp I know this will cost money and time but I still want to get into it.

First thing, obviously I need to get forged internals, arias pistons I believe are the best for our cars? Now if I eventually want to go to a F/I TT setup I need to change the compression ratio to either 8.5:1 or 9.0:1. Also I would get the Darton sleeves which can be bored anywhere from the stock size of 95.5mm to a large 100mm bore. Now I talked to Elmer at Arias and he said they can custom make the pistons to 100mm and still keep the stock stroke. Then I would just get eagle or BC rods and keep the stock crank since its forged from the factory. But is boreing the engine to a VQ38 the best thing to do? And can I run this F/I compression ratio on my car N/A while I'm waiting to get turbos? Assuming I don't care about gas mileage. Also even If I get those sleeves, will the block be fine? What am I overlooking?

Now this next part is where I got confused the most. Cams, I want to go with the BC stage 3 272° cams. Now I understand that I'll have to get upgraded springs and a tune, but do I need other things for that aggressive of a cam? And with that compression ratio would I need different valves or valve lengths? That whole part was confusing for me. Upgraded oil pump maybe? Still trying to run this before F/I setup

Can I run larger injectors like 750cc before it's F/I ?
Can I put a duel fuel pump in before?
I'll do fuel return with the turbos

Stand alone EMS is way to exspensive, plus I think those only apply to quad digit hp cars, so I want to eventually go with the greddy EManage Ultimate. Or can I get away with just a Ecu tune even after turbos?

As far as I am in this idea I have is there some things Iv missed that would be necessary? Otherwise than like the ARP bolts and gaskets and stuff.
I know it's very vague but I'm just starting to get my head wrapped around this whole VQ35DE idea and I love it. Any suggestions or comments?

Please use the search function before posting or asking a question. It is a much more efficient and quicker way of getting your question answered. Another reason is to reduce the amount of duplicate posts and to conserve some server space.

also you dont seem to have any clear what your talking about pushing stock numbers then 600 rwhp then a built block.

if you followed the rule above you would already have every single one of your answers, already see where the flaws in your plan are, most notably if you dont have the cash upfront to do it you dont have the cash to do it you need to be able to pay for everything up front as well as if a stand alone if too expensive you dont have nearly enough cash to attempt to do FI properly for what power you want. the mention of the emanage ultimate makes me think your just trolling.
