Easier to make power as the rpms go up....just harder to get to higher rpms

(just look at F1 motors, 2.4L NA V8, 900hp, 19,200rpm....i know i know not apples to apples)

So your saying every Z that revs to 8000rpm can make power with a stock intake manifold?

thats absolutely what I said..........NOT

I said, its easier for a gasoline engine to make power at higher rpms in general.
Stock intake on VQ seems to be done at the high 7K range but there have only been a few that have tried too much on the stock intake.

Would be cool to see a NA vq motor revin to 9k+rpm and see what it makes (that would obviously need a diff intake).

Hahaha! You have a very nice setup and huge power. There are some elitists that think anything with 3 digits instead of 4 is not enough power. Go drive your car, enjoy it, learn how to drive your new setup, get some track time, and then decide if you want to make any changes.

I for one, think you'll be happy with the setup as is. If you make changes, I'm betting they won't be to make more power, they'll be for tuning/driveability.
