Only 300hp....if a prelude can go from 200hp (160whp) to 312hp (260whp), then a 3.5L V6 can do more than that. I doubt alot of people have completely redone the motor (port&polish, valvetrain, cams, bore and stroke, pistons, crank, etc) for NA setup. With all that and your typical bolt ons, you should be able to hit at least 450hp (360whp) easy.

It all depends...
Sunbelt built a number of VG30DE engines that made around 410 hp with dual 25mm restrictors for an ALMS LM2 car. Unrestricted I think a VQ35 could do about 530 hp or more depending on whether the engine is for qualifying or racing.

If I had the time and money, I would definitely go the NA route and push for as much HP as I could safely get. It's definitely possible to add at least 50 to 75 more HP without going FI.
Love to see these types of threads.
