This problem seems more like a tuning issue as the rpms where it looks like the tuning stopped is the culprit.
The vortechs problem was with a bad batch of bearings that vortech got from there supplier........and it did not cause engine failure.Vortech has been very good with replaceing all the defective units or rebuilding them.
Lawdyu as has been said on tons of threads on my350z please try and know of what you are talking about because there are a lot of us that are on both forums.
I will not debate with you further because i and many others know of some of your bs.

g35man04-Really sorry to hear about your engine going. But there is definitely more to this story. Like some others have said, I'm suspecting something was up with your tune. 380whp @ 5500rpm is definitely not conservative. If anything, that's way aggressive.
