:eek:
Daaaamn. Plus if you put in the exhaust cams you may want to do high compression pistons and other upgrades since you are tearing the engine down so much. I am really curious if the engine can reach the possible 400whp mark N/A, I know years ago it was discussed in length on the forum if possible.

And at that point, I'm probably just better off doing an LS swap, which is my ultimate plan if this engine ever blows.

MTI has a 700hp LS crate motor... :yum:

I thought I read in a post here yesterday that z1 is making a version of these for the 370z. I can't find it now for some reason

Z1, is that right? If yes then when will they be available?

Just over 500hp on an engine dyno has been made by a DE engine, so 400whp should certainly be obtainable by a VHR. RPM is the ticket... The DE has to have a dry sump to spin that high, as the oil pump is a time bomb over 7000 track, 7500 street. If the VHR oil pump can handle 9000rpm (which is hard to chew... not many factory pumps can), and if the VVEL can handle that, I think it could see 400whp with a pretty basic build.

I mean... mike's dyno graph there is peaking at 7200.... thats pretty damn low to be making so much HP/L. There is clearly so much more to be made as the community takes more steps. It might take a while before someone gets to 400, but I think it will happen.

^ that would be very nice accomplishment. Something I wouldn't mind trying one day. But it's hard to make such a jump when it's not guarrented on a built NA motor. But I really feel it could be done with bored and stroked motor end cams. Course there's always the cooling issue we have at hand. Or at least with tracked cars.

Would these headers work on the Boosted Performance turbo kit?

I don't believe so, since you cannot use VQ37 cats/TP's with these headers.

Yeah thats what i was thinking... Maybe they will work if Z1 makes some specifically for the VQ37. Those header welds along with Sasha's Turbo Kit welds.... :yum::yum::yum::yum:

im just saying, with those jun cams, new valve springs/retainers, & head work we are looking at a possible 360whp na
