Max whp on VQ
The HR is very different.
The first VQ35's heads do flow like crap. I'll see if I can dig it up for you.
But here, let me save you the trouble...

If you don't think so, how can a car with less drivetrain loss, and same mods put out less power?
I'm aware, but since we were discussing heads I just noted the relevant differences.
The Pathfinder VQ35 heads were very similar in design to the VQ30 heads but with 1mm larger intake valves. It's no surprise that they don't flow as well as Gen. II and III VQ35's.

Which two cars are you referring to?

First of all, DandyMax had a rev-up oil pump. Secondly, it wasn't the pump that was faulty. If you balance the rotating and reciprocating assemblies the rev-up pump is proven to be reliable above 8000 RPM. His bottom end was untouched.

common knowledge. if anyone said otherwise it was a typo. were not talkin about the revup though. this is about the engine that came in 90% of 350z's

I was looking for that!
Don't forget to check the pressure on the head flow data.. IIRC Joe's were done at 28 in-Hg, don't remember what the Cosworth tests were and I don't feel like bothering to search now but it's usually good to know it's apples to apples... 
AFAIK there are only a very small few who have achieved a DYNOJET 300whp on an N/A VQ35, Adam at Z1 being the most recent. And he certainly has a lot more than "just a tune and bolt-ons." But hey, if there's others I haven't come across then I'll be happy to see a mod list and a Dynojet printout/file.

Gen I VQ35 = Pathfinder 3.5
Gen II VQ35 = Maxima/Altima/Murano/Quest 3.5
Gen III VQ35 = Non-HR RWD 3.5 (both revup and non-revup)
That leaves the HR as the Gen IV VQ35. Thanks for playing.

Looks like cosworth's figures are inflated due to testing at a higher pressure. In any case, what are you trying to prove? The point is you were wrong about maxima/350Z heads being different.

Cosworths test were on the DE/Revup motor, I was sure they were 4th generation.

FYI, the SE-R engine is nothing special. Same internals as every other FWD VQ35.

On a side note, even if someone does reach 300 WHP without touching the bottom end, those horses won't be utilized fully without the ability to rev past the HP peak a significant amount reliably.
