I drove an Infinity G35 and wasnt too impressed on the power - and I hear its pretty much the same thing as the 350z, just more luxurious.

How much WHP do they make?
I've read varying estimates, stating that the models up to 2007(when the HR came along) made about 225-235 WHP, and 215 to 230 WTQ, if I remember correctly. These older models made a quoted 287 BHP. With the new HR and its rating of 306 flywheel HP, the WHP and WTQ number should increase by about 15 or so. The low range torque is decent, its just hampered by the weight of the car. Especially in the heavier G35.

Yup. Steve Mitchell knows what he is doing.

Indeed. The rev limit was also raised to 7500. The G37 gets the new VQ37 across all models, and it puts out about 330BHP, but it gained a lot of weight in its redesign.

My shop is perfectly capable of setting up a 350z as we have a shop track model i'm currently prepping as a customer demo car and have tons of suspension parts in stock for his car. we also supply the entire Cosworth line for the car and can set up either NA or FI versions with any kit he would choose to run. We can beat ANYONE's price on Cosworth, JIC and Seibon products. send him this link, methodbuilt.com and if he calls have him talk to me, Cory. Thanks.

and if not us, Zcargarage

If you consider twin turbo bolt on mods, vq35hr (engine for MY07+) can make 500whp without any internal mods safely per one of my350z.com thread. Performancefactory made a kit using HKS twin turbo kit for older model Z for vq35hr engine, dynoed 495.48 HP at the wheel with 10psi.
