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.

Well the 3.7L is "newer" and people are going to throw forced induction on first, slowly build up the boost and find the limits of this engine and then start building it out. I would love to build the motor and TT/SC, but one thing at a time.
