Not to mention meth injection or E85. If you can turn down the boost pressure, or reduce timing and still make the same power after adding these things, you've made the car that much more reliable.
Plus, keeping the car cool with higher oil capacity and large oil coolers will help. Short of building the motor, I'd say the VQ37 is pretty stout.

 , the VQ37VHR is a very solid engine, the most solid i've seen that can be modded without expected headaches, but that goes back to the 350z's VQ 3.5 liter engine as well. Everyone i know with Porsche's or BMW's have to get tunes for every performance upgrade including aftermarket exhaust upgrades. I love how there's only "one" ecu and it's adaptable, always liked how Nissan never thought twice about adding more than one, less chance of electrical malfunctions. Also, with VQ series engines you know the rule, 2 breather mods max, anything after that you need a tune.
