youre going to surpass the quickness of your M3. 400hp is very easy on the stock block, after that youre rolling the dice
although people have surpassed that number by a couple hundred on a stock block. I personally think the handling is great on the car,
but then again i've never driven an M3 to compare.
nothing some coilovers and sways cant fix though.
^^Since you will be modding it I sugest new suspension so the handeling is good and a TT setup so the power is good. It will give the M3 a run for its money. Then if you have extra cash, get a built shortblock/clutch. You will put out about 400+ HP easily with have a good motor to back it up since it is built. Could go 500+ with the right setup.

ive heard many horror stories of the block on the vq cracking with too much power and it does scare me a little. i found a g35/350z tuner close to my house in jersey so i will be heading down there tomorrow to see what kind of numbers i could put down and keep it safe.

The reality is that the G35 is a low 14 car with well balances chassis. The fact is that this car benefits from every little suspension upgrade that u do on it.
