Usually once you've got some hardcore pistons and rods, your bearings are the weak spot. That's where I'd be very curious to see how well the bearings are designed on the VQ as far as oiling, width, etc. I've seen that the Nismo crank has more journals which would be a good idea for really high power turbo VQ's.
Anyways, great power. I think you'll see that we are just starting the scratch the surface here with the 3.5L beast.
