Quote: You're talking about a 3.5L in their top of the line sports car dynoing what, only 15HP more than some of our home-built enthusiast engines?
Yep, with a flatter torque curve and bone stock, not one modification as compared to your enthusiast modified engine. There are many, MANY, single and twin turbo VQ35DE's marching around now with anywher from 400rwhp to over 500rwhp in 350's with stock internals. Guys with built VQ35De's are running 700+rwhp now on TT systems. How many Duratecs are there on this site or any other vehicle site that uses a Duratec that have this much power and are still a daily driver? There are many 06 350's with mods that are closing in on 300+rwhp with bolt-on mods also.
