From what I've seen/read, there's not much power to be extracted from NA on the vq37vhr unless you're just obsessed about NA like i used to be. The most i've seen w/o running NO2 is 370ish somethin whp and 290 ft-lb (i think, stock gearing).

Where these items would really shine is on a boosted platform. less restrictive intake flow. If you don't have boost, you're not gonna see much of a difference on paper, but the difference will be noteable while driving.
