The VHR can definitely handle more HP than a DE in stock form. But... I bet a lot of that value is in the much much lower peak torque from the VHR. A DE with the same HP as my VHR, will make 125-150 more peak torque.
Last night, a friends 350z DE with about 40 more HP made 175 more torque (not stock rods/pistons).
My VHR is making about 120hp more than I pushed the stock DE in my 350z, but I think about the same torque.
