I had to read this twice because of the awful grammar. Explain to us with more detail exactly what's going on. Does it die after 3500 rpm, what's the deal?

Put a turbo on it? j/k but you really have to give up more info. Did it EVER have power above 3500 RPM? How long have you owned it? Why does it have a new MAF sensor? Give us all something to go on, we are not psychics - no power can be the result of an infinite number of things.

Welcome and congratulations.

Power without numbers is ambiguous. Find a local Dyno operator. Lets take a look at the numbers.

Watched the video, don't see/hear the problem. Perhaps you were expecting more than what the stock Z delivers????? You say you "bought the car this way"? You bought a car with what you feel is a problem? I don't get it......

How many? Always get a pre-purchase inspection done on any used car. That tells overall and engine health, bumps and bruises, CELs, etc. Your car has 287hp from the factory.
