No wonder most of the aftermarket kits, including the Greddy TT kit seem to top out at 450 crank HP. Fragile engine...light....but fragile?

If teh new GTR is going to sport 400-450HP stock to deal with the Carrera and/or Z06, I wonder how they're going to do it while maintaining the tunability and potential characteristic of the GT-R badget.

The RB26DETT wasn't super special in stock form, but it was tough as a mofo and you could boost the hell out of it easily. The reverse seems to be true of the VQ35DE...lovely engine stock and low level modification, but not as much potential.

Maybe thats why again, we're hearing about a VQ32DETT
