What's scary is all this is done on a otherwise ( from the forced induction) totally stock engine on pump gas. It would be interesting to see what these new VQ's can do with more boost and 115 oct. I am willing to bet the stock internals can hold 700-750+whp. Now if we only had local tuners willing to work on them
.
The VQ37 supposedly has even stronger rods.
The TQ curve looks NASTY 500+wtq from 3700rpms up till 6k+rpms. It's making more torque than alot of muscle cars. Traction must be non-existent on the stock tires.
