There isnt even a VQ in that one. Check out this vid. Still has the VQ and runs an 8.3@177. The VQ I believe is pushing out more than 1500rwhp

A little info on the car I linked to:
The 350 relies on a beefed-up version of the mighty VQ35DE powerplant for motivation. Outfitted with JE forged pistons and Carillo rods, the 3.5L had its its rev limit raised to 8,000rpm to help keep the boost pressurized throughout the curve. A Nismo R-Tune camshaft, valve job and mild porting of the exhaust ports by Headgames are also features of this build-up.
Last year, the car was set up with two different nitrous setups – a 300 shot and 375 shot that helped the team go through two engine blocks. This season, however, reliability issues prompted them to switch over to a Power Enterprise twin turbo system, which features a PE exhaust manifold, 2.25-inch down-pipe and modified air-to-water PE intercooler. The wastegate is internal, but the HKS blow-off valve is not.
A large 75mm Accufab throttle body translates the air into additional power with high-flowing Bosch Motorsport injectors transporting loads of additional fuel from an ATL 15 gallon fuel cell. A 240gph Weldon fuel pump and Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator and filter help out with the task.
Engine management duties are performed by a MoTeC M880 system that gives control over the fuel and ignition as well as closed loop wideband oxygen control and datalogging for a number of inputs. Before Ioannou, who knows MoTeC systems like the back of his hand, came on board, the team found tuning a challenge.
“We feel we’re doing pretty good considering we’re the only ones running this V6 right now,” defended Rubio.
Drivetrain upgrades consist of a custom made Unorthodox Racing five pound aluminum flywheel that works in conjunction with a Tilton multi-plate metallic clutch and the factory 6-speed. A Nismo LSD with a Nismo finned differential cover helps distribute the power equally to the rear wheels.
Tein Flex coilovers all around provide ample adjustability for fine tweaks on race days thanks to the EDFC system. Weld 15x9-inch aluminum rims house BFGoodrich 275/50/15 drag radials on the rear axles while the fronts are 15x3.5-inch skinnies with 26x5-15 Mickey Thompson front runners. BFGoodrich came on board as a sponsor in June.
Heres a pic of the beast:

I didnt know the PE kit can support that much power! The reason I sold mine was to have a kit that supported 750rwhp+. Do you know how much power that car is making. I would imagine 1000rwhp+ with 176mph trap speeds.
No kidding. They've already stated they swapped out the turbos long before getting near that kind of power.

I think it is pretty amazing what they did to that stage I race engine; and you should see the stage II race car, which is capable 1,800 whp and easily handles 60 lbs of boost without a hic-cup. There are 2 - 350Zs presently being built for the street, a coup and a roadster, each of the VQs will have the stage II engine with the JWT BB700s.
We talk about R & D and taking the VQ to the limit and seeing what gives first, the weakest link/s. Performance Motorsport, from the street car to the race engine, the complete engine was taken apart at the end of the day, after each car was tracked; each component was inspected closely; stress points are noted and recorded for further testing. Now, that is what real R & D is all about, as by the time something breaks it is difficult to pinpoint with all accuracy which was the first weak link that began the chain reaction. In a blow-up, there is usually more than one component that gets destroyed, which came first, is anyone’s guess.
I never get tired about seeing that video, as it is proof of the real life accomplishments of a fully built VQ35DE power house. Vinny, is being contacted by a number of aftermarket modifying garages, hoping to work with him in marketing some of his packages. Even, as we speak a fully swappable, programmable EMS is being tested and ready for a 2007 production. Unlike the motec, which is costly and you lose the comfort controls; the EMS targeted for the 350Z/G35 has a processor to handle comfort control and another processor to manage the engine.
