    I was just going by word of mouf. Also by the fact that their internals aren't forged. I was also compairing to the 300ZX TT. The 300ZXTT was pretty much made to be a well balanced vehicle, that also has the ability to be a monster. The 350's main goal was an affordable daily driven street/track performer. I wasn't trying to offend you, Tony. Just going by what I've collected thus far.

    Nah it wasn't directed at you, I know with a high compression ratio it doesn't seem like the 350Z was made for boost but when APS was doing research and development on the engine they just found certain things that led them to believe that Nissan might have left a lot of potential there. Trust me, this time last year 380whp was considered dangerous and now 450whp is considered safe. The pictures of the rods show how thin they are (I've seen them in person compared to forged rods, HUGE difference) but strangely the engine is strong.

    I don't want to come off the wrong way at all, I wish I could explain my position on it but basically when you've invested a year of gaining knowledge on the subject on top of $10k plus its hard for me to let false information get thrown out there.
