I think the best option would be blocks made of unobtainium with pistons and rods of of adamantium. IMHO

ps-saw your edit though
OP, if you havent gotten the sarcasm by the rest of the people on this thread, i'm sorry. the economic burden of turning a G35x into a supra beating machine is not very feasible. you will have to get specially designed twin turbos, build your differentials (which i am not sure if anyone does yet because this is a major limiting factor in even getting X's to 350+ awhp), build your transmission, build your engine block, and many other things.
i have a friend who decided to build his RWD v35 sedan into a supra beating machine and the car spent 1 year in the shop. he easily spent over 60k+ (and likely more) on the build and it took the shop a lot more time to fine tune the beast.

if you have the economic backing to do this, by all means, go for it. you will have a very, very awesome machine but you should know exactly what you are getting into.

ha touche!
topped out @ 951whp @ 30psi. it's still possible though
i say doooeeeetttttt!!!
stock block on HRs should be able to handle 400-450whp without blowing up the engine iirc

When Mclaren's F1 team asked me the same question about the block. I explained it like this.... It's not the block.. but the internals of the block that makes the engine strong. I had a turboed civic good for 25 lbs of boost.. 400hp at the wheels was the goal. To prepare my block for it.. I did not get it made out of carbotanium but got forged pistons, rods, ductile sleeves. And got the whole block blueprinted. Oh I also bored it out to make it 1.8 versus the stock 1.6... I wanted to be a sleeper... As far as turboes go.. You can make your own. Tubing/piping will require custom work, but you can get that done at a relatively reasonable price!

not recommended without replacing exhaust components. Do a search. I remember reading people running about 8 psi on stock internals. Some more.
