Wat you really need is torque anyway. Without torque hp can only do so much. I wish nissan designed this car to be more like 332hp 300lbs torque. If its a beast now? Imagine with 30 lbs more torque. Lol. CRAZY!
If nissan designed this same engine to only rev 6000rpm or make its peak power at 6000 rpm then you would have that much tq. You can't have high revs and high tq at the same time. There is a constant number in a HP vs TQ formula which applies to every engine in the world. That number is based on physics that can not be changed.
