Capecreations21, you were on target about not being understood on a hot rod forum! The smaller, lighter engines in many European vehicles (especially the exotics) push their peak torque and HP way, way out on the curves compared to American Iron V8's. Heck, some of the Ferrari's hit Peak Torque above 9000rpm, and push out to 13,300rpm or higher. Now I'm not saying that your Nissan V6 is going to hit 12,000rpm, but you need to find a shop that works on the tuner crowd's engine needs vs American V-8's. There's a reason you don't take your Ferrari to a Chevy dealership for service, and the same applies to machine shops, IMO.
I hope you'll keep posting your progress on the Nissan V-6, especially a You-Tube video of it cranking out >10,000rpm on the dyno, complete with the graph of power output!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
