I'm thinking ~330 bhp at the crank is feasible with the right mods.

295/35-18 and 265/35-18. I've been running them for a few k now and all is well. I use SSR Comp-H wheels since they are wide , light and inexpensive.
It's supriseing how this much rubber tuck into the fender well, they don't bug out at all.

Weight and Gears!!!!!!!!!!

If you are not going to add F.I. forget trying to squeeze more power out of the VQ- The ROI (return on investment), is crappy.
The best way to lower times at the strip would be to remove weight and change the gears! You could put $10,000 in the VQ and still get smoked by a stock G35 with a 200lbs. weight reduction and gear change from stock to a more aggressive rear end ratio.

I have read in mags and on this site that the stock rods are only good for 400BHP. The 2005 had "internal strengthing of the motor", so the 2005 may be stonger. Of course you can replace the rods but tearing down an engine gets expensive. Someone posted onetime about putting the old Skyline turbo motor in a G. The old skyline turbo was like the Supra turbo and could go 700+bhp. I would be intereted in that info if anyone has it.
