Stop following him around and sniping at him. If you don't have something constructive to contribute, please refrain from contributing at all.

Redline increase to 7500rpm
Increased height of cylinder blocks
The compression has been increased from 10.3:1-to 10.6:1. The power has gone up to 306 hp SAE. The engine's redline has been increased to 7500 rpm.
Redesigned block for increased rigidity.
New cylinder heads
Larger valve diameters
Stronger valve springs
Iridium spark plugs
Crankshaft is much stronger
It actually has a dual exhaust setup....
I wonder why its faster???? than the last VQ motor???? Those are just a few of the changes from the old VQ and the new VQ.

My point is, there is little room for improvement, its a 3.5L V6 producing over 300hp with out any FI. I find it so funny your arguing about a car you don't own and have never taken a close look at, ie taken things apart looked a little deeper then one can simply by popping the hood or at a dealership.
sooooo..... is it worth it or not? i've had CAI on all my cars but thats usually after i've seen alot of test results. IMO we really cant tell till a couple of companies come out with it. all this tech talk means nothing without hard facts and evidence that it makes gains or it doesn't make gains. just my 2 cents!

as far as popping the hood at the dealership i havnt even done that and im sure i know more about the engine than you do. Also, since you im sure have a bone stock 07 what have you done besides pop the hood?

Don't the sedans and coupes have diff gearing too? I dont know.
Nismo. Given the already questionable CAI gain on the single TB G35s, their tendency to make the car stall, and the fact that the VQ35HR ALREADY hast dual CAIS, I'm not sure how companies plan to improve this.

And Russ. Honestly. Are YOU actually trying to say Dave B makes trouble on sites like maxima.org??? Dude. I cannot FATHOM how you can even ATTEMPT to even imply something like this.
Trouble?? Did Dave B ever get BANNED from maxima.org?? Did YOU? Answer that and THINK about what you are posting. Your 1/2 truths and slander campaigns are seriously getting tiring. No one is buying into it.

He was just trying to tell others that your 2.0 60' is more the exception than the norm and ppl should be careful when comparing numbers without considering this.

EDIT: i think its the gearing as well sense im shifting into 4th extremely close to the 1/4 mile mark there is the long delay in shift that is probably the biggest factor. i need a valve body
