Maybe with EcuTek and their claim to be superior to Uprev, still waiting to see that. I just want some educated guesses on what they think is possible, I know tuning the VQ motor is still very brand new and tuners have come along way.

Thank you everyone for your time.

Seems NOOBish to me? DE, HR, VHR whatever NONE of the VQ motors will come close to 400 wheel NA without doing at least a couple of those thingsand you wouldn't even come close with DE heads. If you had crazy money in it you would be lucky to break 400whp now 400bhp is very possible but not at the wheels

also the grand am cars have a little over 400 but you would vommit at the price tag
