I have to agree with that. Not too long ago, a tuning shop just hit over 600whp on a G35 with bunch of stuff on it. I have a feeling that it’s only the beginning. We may be seeing a much higher numbers than that. Although I doubt it’ll have as much potential as 1000hp RB26’s, but close though especially for a engine that’s originally NA form.
