Yeah but I'm stock and my only previous cars were a 1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass that went the way of the dodo when some ****ing punk smashed into it with his riced out civic doing 120+ km/h in a 50 zone and a beat up rusted piece of ****, an Automa**** 1989 Mercury Topaz with 315,000 km on the clock and a whopping 98 hp so for an inexperienced stick driver I think 15.0xx is pretty good. Plus my cat looks ready to explode and I've got a Knock Sensor code.

K. But like I said maxima guys would rather supercharge their cars than play with the internals. We're lazy by nature, we bought an already fast car instead of doing like everyone and getting a civic and trying to make it fast with neons and eibach stickers.

I wonder what the difference in weight between the two. I know the VQ35 one is bigger. I know they can take about 1 lb out of a higher power h-series honda engine crank. And that crank is still good for 1000 hp. I am guessing lb and a half outta Vq30 one and a little more outta VQ35 one. You would need an experienced person do do that and get it exactly balanced. If your going N/A you might be able to take more out if you want to rev really high.
