what i was saying is most people with 3.5 swap will only get about 250-260whp even after a tune and thats being nice, but if a DE-K is getting into the mid 240s with slightly more aggressive cams then the average 3.5......

The thing is most people that do 3.5s just swap and that's it, they don't dedicate too much to the tuning, or run out of money for a good Ems, if I was n/a, id kick butt.. The key to making power with our motors is having an awesome tune.

Yeah i guess this is true. Whenever I hear people talking about going all out with a DEK my first thought is why not do all that to a 3.5. Not bashing the DEK at all. I love all VQ's lol.
EDIT: I'm talking more about swaps than stock motors BTW.

Another thing some are not mentioning, having the power dosnt make the car faster. You can put a crappy driver in a 350z, and an uber driver in a 4th gen(3.0) with good tune and 00vi, the 4g might surprise the Z

That's always how it goes, I'm not an uber driver though. And I'm not saying my car has a certain amount of WHP just because I beat x car on y day. I'll just have to dyno it and see.

Can u name 5 people who have done the 3.5 swap and put down those numbers?..not including people who have done full 3.5 swaps. Just the people who run 3.5's with 3.0 timing and computer.
I don't recall see to many people achive those numbers.

I think it really depends on your goals with the car. Me and my bro have this convo almost everyday. He wants to run 13.9 and I always tell him its easier to get that with the 3.5 but he's afraid of swapping the timing components but yet he mentions installing cams in his 3.0 .
.
well installing cams is pretty much the whole 3.5 swap.

Swapping engines - take off, ps, alty, compressor, mounts, elec harness, ypipe, xmember, seperate from tranny. pretty much
Changing cams - taking off ps, alty, compressor, mount, elec harness, ypipe, xmember, take out lower bolts from the tranny, lower oil pan, upper pan, crank pulley, outer timing cover, timing chains and sprockets, inner timing cover, take off valve covers, cams. Spend an hour alone putting silicone everywhere, Then redo it all again to put back
