It wouldn't be the first time an open-deck engine is capable of power. A closed deck can be added via resleeving. I believe the record for a stock-internal VR30 is right around 600hp; so not too far off from a larger turbocharged VQ35/37 and the B58(though I think the B58 will take gobs more torque). I'm a fan of larger engines but there's plenty of people running high boost on smaller engines with success. I'd keep the VQ37 over either engines but hey, to each their own.
