There's a couple things you guys need to remember.
The 350Z is a 6 cylinder with high compression and an open deck aluminum block. It does NOT respond well to FI without major modification. It isn't supposed to and is not designed that way. Don't hate the Z, hate the owners who are too stupid to realize this and then represent poorly.
Firebirds, Mustangs, and Camaros are V8s with a lot more power potential than a 6 or even the precious 4G63. You tend to forget this with a turbocharged, closed deck, iron block high revving engine designed for 20 psi. It's unrealitstic and not even common. Name one other car out there like the Evo. There isn't one and that is why it's so appealing.
Watch this video and welcome yourselves back to REALITY. Duh.

They are weak...with just the SC or turbo, especially for $5-8K. All you've shown is spend enough money and you can make anything fast.
FWIW, the car really needs a built bottom end so you can crank up the boost.
That is an exceptionally nice Z, though.
