the answers to your questions.

1.although ill admit im not very well informed of the nissans aftermarket i can almost guarentee that those 3 mods arnt gonna net you 31fwhp unless you were forced induction (to begin with) and then some...

the hotshot header is a 12whp, in comparison aebs just released their header and it's 15whp peak gain. The intake is 7.7whp(k&n typhoon). Unorthodox lightweight pulleys netted a little over 7whp, 2 1/4 piping with high flow cat, desensitized knock sensor, advanced timing of 3degrees. Those last three make up your 5hp gain.

2. with cam upgrades like you mentioned before your gonna be hardpressed to gain that much TQ at the wheels IF ANY AT FREAKING ALL, because with cams (AND HIGH REVVING MOTORS TO BEGIN WITH) you sacrifice tq for high end hp and if you can get a gain of about 50tq @ THE WHEELS (IM ASSUMING 150fwtq STOCK) WITH CAMS I/H/E and most importantly over 70fwhp from those 4 mods then MUCH MORE PEOPLE woulda bought a nissan, thats just ludicrious

the qr25de is not a high revving motor, redline is 6200rpm. In fact there has been failure with the internals for people taking it up to the line consistenlty and hard(my car is actually in the shop right now for a broken head gasket :() I also said not just cams but also the removal of the balance shafts. Balance shaft removal on this motor opens up 10-13hp and 12-15lbs of tq. I am hoping for at least 13hp from the the new camshafts, I don't recollect my tq numbers that I hoped for. Sunbelt racing produced their qr for 250hp and 248lbs of tq. That is with i/h/e pullies, the mentioned camshafts, timing advance, and head work.

P.S. LIKE I SAID I AM NOT THAT MUCH INFORMED ABOUT THE NISSAN MOTOR, BUT IT CANT BE THAT FREAKING DETUNED IN STOCK FORM and still make 175hp.... not to mention the tq gains from a cam are optomistic by about 40

you arguments are valid, yet as you said you are not much informed of the motor. It is a new motor, and is very different from the sr20s and the vg and vq series. It is made to be lightweight and torque heavy, with a really long stroke and high compression. I appreciate your inquiry into the knowledge of my vehicle, as you can see I am very well versed with Nissan motors, just like I am sure you would run circles around me with ford.
