The limiting factor is probably still lack of experience. There are probably people out there making 9k+ VQ engines that don't post on here. Unfortunately this engine is still in an experimental stage to a large degree in regards to what can be done safely and effectively. Once there are a few more years of experimentation and measurements done then you will see a lot more people stroking, destroking, P&P heads, more availability of aftermarket heads, etc. It's just not feasible for the majority of folks right now, mostly due to the high cost of anything for these engines and the relatively low abundance of shops that know these engines well.

I'm just going to be patient, and hopefully in a few more years, when prices drop a bit and there is a better knowledge base of what can and can't be done, I may consider doing something serious with my G, if I still have it. Until then, I just want to say good luck and thank you to everybody pushing the envelope, shops and individuals alike.
