Would there be any good engine to fit in there and I am thinking V8 or a more race ready engine like an rb26dett. Would this also solve cooling issues?
I too have been wanting more power. I would like to go FI but am worried about longevity issues and wondering why you don't see more people strengthening the bottom end. It seems it would be cheaper to do swap with an engine that already has 450 to 500 hp than it would be to FI the VQ and hope for the best.
