Hi everyone! Thanks for having us on the370z.com forum. We are looking forward to building some very impressive 370Z's. Since the G37 shares much of the same drivetrain and suspension as the 370z, we are pretty much ready to hit the ground running.

Someone had asked earlier about the power and boost limitations on stock block VQ37's. For now, about 10-12psi, and 500whp is a very good safe limit. This is about 100whp more than we recommend on stock block VQ35's. Nissan did an incredible job strengthening the block, crackshaft, and rods. Unfortunately, the pistons, IMHO, are still a weak design, so we have to be careful with how hard you push the engine.
Like all things, time will tell, but this engine is a quantum leap forward in engineering and design, and we are excited to be among the first shops to work on them.
