OK back on topic, what are your thought on your personal experience with the car, how far you think you could have pushed your car with stock valve train and internals?

Maybe 8500? Man who knows when she'll pop all i have is that its pretty solid to 8300 with the correct mods, of course the factory setup is good for **** up there, you can spin it all you want once you change the pump but if you dont have a good manifold and cam combo you wont be making any extra power.

I gotcha. You should start a website to see if people will pay to see how the VQ can be pushed with the correct mods. Create a great story and maybe sponsor will come your way.

how far*

Talk to the engine builder for Doran Nissan (Clark Steppler) who run the 370Z in Grand Am, or Sasha Anis in Canada.

With good rod bolts, JWT cams and JWT valve train, Sasha's VQ35HR with 370Z crank made 414hp atw which has to be 480 @ the crank see Kels takes Mosport with fastest practice, pole and race win.. then we broke her. : OnPoint Dyno

Sasha has already done most of the development work including overall induction/exhaust lengths, trumpet sizes, airbox capacity and a bunch of other stuff.

What this demonstrates is that nothing is simple, it is all interconnected and what you need to do is test, test and test again.

This has already been done, no need for more test pilots .. just use the lessons already learned ...
