Yep pretty impressive... hell I only make 356rwtrq... the N54 is a beast once you start tuning/modding.

Kool so I was pretty much right on. I believe you mentioned once before that the headers alone are worth about 30rwhp/trq so with tune/intake should put it around 350 or no?

I wouldn't own one out of warranty (just in case) but I have numerous friends driving N54s daily with zero issues. They are pretty damn reliable, just costly if certain things do fail.

^This. I have a buddy that owned one and is pushing for me to get one saying he'll do all of the maintenance on it, but it also scares me because he sold his to avoid the impending costly maintenance he needed to perform on it.

Doh!

Indeed, every brand/model has their lemons.
