Question for you vq guru's
I blew my motor 450rwhp it leaned out at 5000rpm for god know what reason and i have to buy a new motor so my question ??? is which motor has the better stock bottom end ( con rod ) the vq35hr with its longer block and rod or the vq35de. My third option is to have one built or buy a long block; below is a link where i can buy a vq long block with a built bottom end and ported heads

The HR should be able to handle more. 450whp was already up there... and pretty hefty for the DE - so props on that... most don't push much past 400whp on stock engines.
I'd ago ahead and biuld it man. Why not? Car's already down for awhile. That way you can come back and not have to worry about which stock engine is stronger, because you can biuld one that's bullet proof.

Who did your tuning? I'm still impressed by 450whp on a stock VQ35DE. Very nice. How long had it been running like that?

Z fever tampa, FL. i could make more hp i am guessing about 600hp at 15psi but i was worried about the bottom end and for good reason i had about $15,000 in mods. My next project was going to be a 4.1L stroker

It is very useful so long as you quickly identify the off-topic posts and continue on.

Take it to Performance Factory if you're in FL near them, otherwise Forged Performance in Atlanta. You can't just replace a DE block with an HR.
