Like you said, torque is a result of tuning. A lot of tuners fee like the 400ft/tq is a really safe number on a VQ37, so it becomes the "norm" so to speak. We had 9psi of boost at about 3600rpm, so for sure the torque could be pushed way up...but why risk it.
I have customer with the DE making very close to 600ft/tq at 18-19psi, so the 62mm turbo is very capable. Perhaps a customer with a built motor will purchase this kit with the 67mm turbo, and push it hard....there may even be an insentive for somebody with an already built engine.
