Congrats Mike on some great numbers.
Any plans to do more engine work to see what else is left to be made N/A with the VQ37?

probably not. the only possibility is exhaust cams, maybe in a year. They would be close to 3000 installed though, with at least 20 hours of labor.

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.
