How does that relate to a VQ and also your talking a V8? So you like to compare apples to tuna fish? well then i will make a few more comments than i am done, i will save my knowledge for my own personal gain and not share with the community since I obviously do not understand that adding a cam and new heads is now considered a bolt on.

You would boost a smaller displacement motor to get the horsepower you cant have due to the smaller displacement. Have you ever heard the term "there is no replacement for displacement"? The VQ is getting 330 crank horse power. The SRT8 only makes 425 I think with 6.1 liters of displacement. That's nearly twice the size and those motors do well with a new head and cams since it's pushrod style V8.

Trying to compare a high compression low displacement v6 against a 6.1 liter low revving V8????????

The G has makes only 95 less HP with with a motor almost half the displacement.... Nissan is already squeezing nearly every ounce of HP out of the VQ. There is just only so much more we can get her to pump out.. Now on the other hand the 6.1 has head room but still can only go so far since the ring lands on the Hemi 6.1 are paper thin and that's where you have problems. You can barely get to 600hp before you need new half shafts and a complete forged short block not to mentions a beefier tranny. We already know that we can make nearly 500hp reliably on the 3.7 VQ all day.... So my point tit for tat to really make any power on the srt 8 you need a new short block and tranny....


Good luck to you and your Dad
Yes, but all of those liters = massive torque. I'd like a little more torque, please. Also, it's nice to have the option of having an engine that is able to accept things like cams, ported throttlebodies, cai and exhaust and get reaaaally good gains being all-engine. That is an advantage. I am so tired of the old 'my smaller engine is more advanced or better than your big engine' - hp/liter is such a tired, tired argument. All of that HP nissan is giving is is not that useful without some torque to push around. IN order to make allll that power, ya still gotta drop 8 k on a turbo or (and THANK YOU GTM!) 5k on a gtm supercharger. That's a lot of money any way you look at it.
