@@NickKautz I'm sure it's classified, but Sasha isn't affiliated with an car electric company, he does work with a company that builds controllers and such. Also I don't think it would be a contamination as anything that makes a vehicle quicker is cool. Electric is the future.

A theory on the glowing header question: the middle cylinders are getting less air then the side cylinders because the velocity stacks have less space to draw from, making them run a little bit more rich and cooler

[@sergesvz]

An idea to look into

[@thebibidu]

O2 sensors on each cylinder would be very interesting

[@sergesvz]

Usually they use exhaust gas temperature sensors in each runner.

Great work Sasha. Great work Speed Academy for the coverage. Maybe I wait a few years and hit up Jim/Sasha for a motor. Lol. Damn way to set the Nissan world on fire and be so open about it how you did it. All we've had for years the GTR's. Too bad it took this long to get VQ's up there. This is refreshing.

[@ronaldmcfondled9604]

Just as a comparison, the Ferrari 458 is one of the highest HP/L production cars (N/A of course). The most powerful iteration of that motor makes 597 BHP from 4.5L of displacement (133 BHP/L). This VQ makes 537 WHP from 4.2L of displacement which equates to ~630 BHP = 150 HP/L

[@N4CR]

This is how you build. Once you've experienced big NA power, you never go back. Turbos are fun but the real track weapons for sensitivity, longevity and reliability are high HP NA. End of story. I run a dry sump LS3 with a custom Kelford cam, touched up rotating assy, custom SS LT headers and 3" exhaust in a T56 mag S2K. I have owned many litre bikes before that too, so NA is where I prefer.

[@emill910]

never heard of anyone running a Kelford cam in a LS. What made you go that route?

[@konnerkramer3381]

Nick Kautz I mean there’s FBO e85 on tire stock engine/chasis/suspension/diff/axles with the VQ35DE variant running 11s that only made like 300ish whp.. I believe(RZGMOTORSPORTS). Now imagine a 4.2L at 500whp. I don’t get how this 350z would perform any differently? 500whp in a stock gutted 350z on tire would do a hella lot better than 11s no doubt. I don’t think I’m reaching if I say 10s either.

[@LuisRamirez-zi1nf]

sage sokol exactly. Everyone likes to bash and underestimate the Z/VQ platform when it comes to drag racing. It’s usually V8 guys too. Maybe it’s because that’s all they have? It’s not too often you’ll catch a muscle/pony car drifting, auto cross, touge, track etc. Upsets them when they see a 350z, (which could arguably do it all), drag racing and getting 12s with a stock v6 engine and tire while there’s modern 6MT V8s out there that struggle to even crack 12s on the track.

[@philloft]

This is a dream come true and I have the q50 3.7 my goal was to trade that in for a Q60/G37 coup that’s has the VQ37 with the awd and build a NA motor to make over 450 awhp which as I see is def possible. This right here is confirmation of that if only there was more shops around like this to really get into that kind of build.

Philip Asher yea built bottom end. Either way you’re going to have to run forged if you want anything over 420whp... I’d personally go turbo unless you plan on staying low boost the entire time.
