What about the curve?

If you were to keep the redline at 6500 for a stock VQ30 under boost, and 5700-5800 or so on the VQ35, the 3.5L would strain less. Its the big stroke of the VQ35 that causes violent torque and makes the motor easier to break. At equal piston speeds the VQ35 is stronger than the VQ30.
Ill also point out that even with the 81.4 mm stroke VS the VQ30s 73.3 mm stroke, at least 2 Z guys have reached 550WHP on a stock motor, and someone even put down 619RWHP on the dyno.
So the myth that the VQ30 is stronger than the VQ35 is just that, a myth. Thats why the VQ32 makes so much sense: everything thats better on the 3.5, with the super short stroke of the VQ30.

that explains why top secret in japan uses vq30 rods instead of vq35 rods to build 800+ hp motors good call. and it is not directly related to piston speed, what ends motors is rod to stroke ratio the stroke of the 35 throws the rods further back and forth. that is what annihilates motors
WOW!!!! A legend has returned. I idolized your car when I owned a maxima. You were like in the top 3 back in your prime days. At least you kept it in the family. You should check is updated thread. He actually put a built motor in the car now and has updated numbers.
