Question about the VQ
so i was wondering , and yes i tried searching it first but i got tired of looking.....
How strong is the stock VQ motor in respects to driving it hard, im always worried that im pushing it too hard and i dont get on it too often. With a stock vq, how much punishment can it take usually before it gives you issues?

Stock, modded NA, or FI? Even within those last two categories, there are tons of variations.
VQ will take all you can give it stock (short of a downshift to 2nd at the top of 5th)...modded, depends on your power levels, what kind of condition it's in, what you have done/do for maintenance, etc.
Rather broad question.

Okay, I'll bite... More than 400whp on a stock block and the rods start folding/snapping.
Do yourself a favor... Sell your car... Now~
