I have an N55 and had 3 N54's. The N54 is a stronger engine and has more durable internals, that is a well known fact.

That is 100% not true at all. The N54 never used forged pistons/rods like some of the rumors you see on the forums. It is not stronger then an N55
Stock vs stock the N55 is hands down a better engine. From the aftermarket standpoint it does not make as much power vs the N54 due to Turbo limitations.
