It is very rare that you can get easier power out of a N/A setup than a stock turbo setup for the same price.

I was thinking it was a twin turbo 300zx, not a 350z. You can achieve 450 with a good tune and basic mods.

300's are too iffy. I'd personally rather have a boosted 350Z.

And as for the NA modding comment, that's not very true. Any LSX powered GM car is a perfect example.....

That is true. Those motors respond very well to mods..

Yeah, the entire LS series engine family are beasts when it comes to modding. Ford's newer Modular engines like the S197's 3V and the DOHC 4.6 found in the Mach 1 and '01-back Cobra's are also strong modding platforms.
