info on the vq35de is useful. i belong to several forums that i dont have that car. basically, the more info i can get on the engine i run, the better. also a good reason is to meet other enthusiasts. unfortunately, the opposite seems to happen when gothchick is aound. however, for the most part everyone here is actually pretty relaxed. ive met several people on here, and nobody ive met in person has ever crapped their pants about me not actually having a z/g. for the most part, people that enjoy cars/racing enjoy any car thats mostly just "go". i enjoy seeing (not hearing) turbo honda's go 11s and i also enjoy seeing big f'ing diesel trucks run 11's. in the end, its the amount of money that gets thrown at the vq from this site that has me reading here

N/A is for people to scared to go F/I and thus they are punished with low power. I hit 372 - 386 whp with just a turbonetics kit. You would have to sink double the cash for less power when you go NA. Yea your N/A build is more stable and boost can kill a motor but the stock flash is very safe. Not to mention a NA build with 375 whp would have a crazy high compression that would require some solid Mobil 1 race fuel. Go turbo or go home.

Please don't post about things you pretend to know - it's lame. Some of us that have gone NA did so for very specific reasons. In my case, I already own a very fast, fairly powerful turbo car, and simply didn't want another one. I wanted something different, and I chose to take a route I had never taken before with my previous cars. No one asked you to pay the bill, and no one asked for your permission on what they should and shouldn't do. Just like you didn't ask anyone's permission when you bought your used car. 12k posts doesn't make me an expert, and 216 posts sure as hell doesn't make you one. Stick to learning about your own setup and don't worry about why others are doing what they are doing.
An NA build with 375 whp does not need to have "crazy compression" - again, stick to posting about things you know

ive built race cars sort of speak and i need something decently fast and reliable and don't wanna turbo it or charge it for numerous reasons right now. . and if you took a 375whp n/a z and a 375whp FI z the na would murder!!. . and this coming from a turbo guy. .
