For example, look at the 350z or even the gs 35 which are the same motor which is a vq35. Now you cant tell me for stock block to stock block that the vq35 is a better motor.

The 2jz stock can put out more than 800to the wheels without any problems. You can barely get a stock vq35 to hit 550 without having internal problems. If you dont beleive me I have the dsport mag and people who own the car to prove it. We can talk all day about these matters but what its going to come down to is what really works and what reality says to us.

I can show you a handful of supras that have reached the benchmark of 800rwhp on stock bottom ends. O the other hand, it would literaly be a challenge for me to find 1 350z or g35 or any other v6 for that matter that has reached that very same mark and works great on the stock bottom end.

it has NOTHING to do with the fact its a V6.. its what kind of internals were used

leave out the style of motor arguement..

However, what I am saying is for stock block to stock block the cast iron inline blocks are the strongest and can put out more power stock than any v motor can due to the balancing issue. If you didnt touch any internals on a v6 and an inline 6 the inline 6 would be ableto produce more power much more efieciently and without fewer or any problems. If you do this to a v6 because its a v style motor the balancing on the stock bottom ends are usually only able to withstandup to 500whp. If you exceed that on a stock bottom end v6 you will have internal problems. On most cast iron inline 6's(usually refering to the 2jz's) those motors stock bottom ends can withstand up to 800whp fairly easily. Are you getting this now?
