350z vs s2k

[GirlieZ]

I don't think either motors respond very well to N/A mods. With intake/exhaust/plenum spacer/test pipes I put down 250whp vs about 230 stock. You can make great power boosted though. I get over 400 whp at 8.5 psi. The torque difference is huge between the two.

i think the z responds better to n/a mods. i gained alot (relatively) from my n/a mods. the DE has the best tq out of the 3 motors but not as good top end. that can be fixed, and well mine has i gained upwards of 50 hp and 45 tq over a average DE dyno with just 3k into mods and tuning software/tuning. who knows where ill be after the new additions, i could be close to the 300 mark. the revup (in the 06 mt, and aniv. editions) will put down more hp then my motor but i have not seen few car close to the tq mine puts down. the revup has longer runners in the plenum in then the DE and that seems to attribute to better hp numbers. the HR is great outa the box but it also has almost perfect equal length headers (unlike the de and revup) and gains are better with exhaust and test pipes but not with after market intakes. the hr also looks like their AFR is pretty much around the 13 mark even after mods so who knows how much it will benefit from tuning. i would also like to add the compression is higher on the HR (10.6). mods will be cheaper for the de and revup then the hr bc the hr is newer. plus there has also been more trail and errors with the older two engines so it would be easier to make educated decisions with mods on those engines.
its going to cost you at least 10 grand starting from scratch to boost a Z (with doing the work yourself). i think some boosted DE guys have seen 550 (a car from Z1 is around that mark on a turbonetics single) on a stock block but i just checked their updates and a few guys have blown their motors. i would say to be safe you wouldn't be smart to push past mid 400s on a stock block.

if i were you i would go with a c5 vert. you get the drop top and the sex appeal but that motor responds well to boost and n/a mods. plus the n/a mods on a ls1 show better gains for the buck. who would ever suspect a 385whp c5 vert with a cute little asain girl driving it (and all that power with i/e/h/heads and cams)?

the Z wiki is your friend for the tech aspects of all 3 engines.

note: i pay 290 for both goat and Z a month. full coverage and im 23. i dont think its that bad.

man, b!tch get your facts right. about any m6 350z with a decent driver can take a autotragic vette in the mtns. the vette has yet to prove me wrong. but you never go on mtn runs so you wouldnt know. supermanZ isnt coming this time, maybe you should come. we need and idiot to bring up the rear and fall of a mtn and that would be YOU

you want him to get a Z so you can sell him your abused mods want me to clicky pow the link from my350z.com, im sure they will enjoy.
