They say 500hp is "safe." These vendors are gonna tell you anything you wanna hear. I honestly don't think 500hp streetable is realistic, more like 400hp. C'mon, a VQ motor is a corporate motor in a truck, passenger car, minivan and whatever Nissan makes. On the other hand, a Ferrari motor is engineered to take 12:1 compression ratio, use certain alloys for its block, etc. to get their motors to pump out 500hp all motor, they're high-performance motors per se whereas VQ's aren't.
But the caveat is that you know that building your motor aftermarket is risky despite anything vendors say is "safe."

The HR was designed after the GT-R motor with some of the same internals. The HR does handle boost just fine. If the VQ35DE can handle 400 safe, the HR can easily handle that safely. 450-500 I would say is the safe zone for any HR powered car, 3.5 and 3.7.
The other cars in Nissan's line up are not the same engine, yes they are a VQ, but they are completely different.
